Here's a theory
Technology makes everything go faster, right? And since we have all this technology and efficiency, you would think it would free up a lot of time, which it does, but it's where you allot that time that will have you either overwhelmed or pretty relaxed. Back in the 1700s and 1800s, just a couple of hundred years away, people had plenty of time to do what they wanted to do because they weren't always getting interrupted by a cell phone or their favorite TV show. They didn't spend time on a Personal Development Forum because there was none. Here's some advice that I don't currently follow, but did try for a couple of weeks about six months ago. Give up technology for a day. One day. Give up computers, cell phones, reglar phones, automobiles, and everything else that you feel warrants an exculsion. You'll see how much spare time you have then. Now I'm not suggesting you completely get rid of them for life, but it will show you that some things you do are not necessary for your life, and you'll be able to use the time not doing those activities. this will allow you to free up time for other pursuits.
