My problem is it is never that simple. It's never "do this thing or don't," it's "you have to do these five things. This one might be really difficult or time consuming. The other four your can just do right now." So the difficult one keeps getting pushed out because other things, that are also necessary, are easier. The list never completely empties, so it's like Hunter's Stew, with the difficult thing just collecting at the bottom until it becomes an emergency.

And then I find out it's a relatively simple thing, I just had to do it.
