Time rarely is the real problem. Fears, lack of energy, lack of focus, etc usually is what prevents people from doing things... And even when time is the issue, often stopping yourself from wasting time is an effective solution.

People can overcome their fears, lack of energy/focus, etc., but only when they make it a priority to.

Every time I'm tempted to say that I didn't have the time, the reality is that I wasted my time doing something else. (like writing comments about my grandmother on Hacker News)
