I remember a passage from CS Lewis's Screwtape Letters where the letter writer discusses the thoughts of one man. Basically, the man sat down to think of something important just before lunch. But then he said "that's too important to think of before lunch." The next day he said to himself, re: another thought, "that's not important enough to think of before lunch."
In either case, the importance was just a MacGuffin to cop out. It pops up in different contexts.
Writing piece a is too [from the gut/potentially unrefined] to [work on/write a rough draft for] right now, because I am too [busy/alone and catching up with my thoughts] at the moment.
None of this makes any sense, but it's useful for wasting perfectly good time and motivation. It's sort of creative, in a way. But it's not what anyone ultimately wants to do. It's not even the do-nothing we'd opt for. But it gets done too often.
