I don't have time for... what are the synonyms
In Russian/Ukrainian when I don't have time for something I can say "My hands can't reach it..." You get the idea, right? If for example I want to change the ball-bearing in my disc harrow I could say something like this: Ball-bearing in my disc harrow needs changing but my hands can't reach it. (it means that I've got a lot on my plate therefore I don't have time for ball-bearing change). Do you have the similar expression to "My hands can't reach it..."?
Thank you!

Closest thing I can think of is 'my hands are full', a variation of 'my plate is full'

I dare to think what Kimberly means by "my hands are full" is being totally occupied or busy with something, and it's not what you want. Off the top of my head, you could say something like, "I can't get around to (doing) it." That's more like "у меня всё руки не доходят."
