Help!

I fear I am falling into one of my 'obsession traps'. I'm not even sure I want to admit to what the subject is, lest it reinforces my current thought pattern about it and sends me further down the spiral towards incessant research.

Basically, something came up in a work meeting yesterday and I took it upon myself to find out more about the problem that was arising. This led me to some interesting scientific research papers about it and now I think there's a way I could get involved with an ongoing study and dedicate myself to making life potentially better for a particular group of people.
This is not a good thing.
The sentiment is a good thing - the drive to help a disadvantaged group - but the fact that I'm considering it as a serious use of my time is NOT a good thing. I have two small children and a very busy worklife. I am responsible for dozens of staff and for the successful running of more than one holiday centre, and I have lots and lots to concentrate on and get on with to make sure that those centres run smoothly and that the tens of thousands of people that use them every year get to enjoy the vacation they are expecting. I do NOT have time to give up time to spending time on some silly little whimsical folly that I am nowhere near qualified enough to seriously consider or to be seriously considered for. I need to leave it where it is, leave it up to the people who are up to it, and go back to getting on with my life and the tasks on my 'To Do' list. (Which is now longer than it needs to be, because I've ignored it for the past 24 hours while getting obsessed with this other thing.)
And yes, it's been a nice distraction and is stopping me getting stressed about just how much stuff there is to do before the Easter holidays start... But it has to stop now.
Thanks for listening.
