"Able" in the sense of "having sufficient emotional energy to get done" as opposed to "literally able". If something massively bad happens to me, I might as a consequence not get around to filing my income taxes on time. But when that catches up with me, I'm not expecting IRS to say, "That's OK, we know you had other stuff on your mind."
