I've recently felt similarly and have found myself in constant overwhelm and thinking of time is something that is scarce and never enough of. My life is also so different as full-time artist but I still face similar struggles without the construct of 9-5 workday which confirms my theory that life may, in a way, always feel like *this* to people that are multi-passionate and want to juice life for all it is worth ... no conclusion other than, maybe the goal isn't to do it all but instead avoid feeling like there isn't enough time? Instead accept our humanity and the confines of time as forces towards our diligence to what we prioritize most. Hmm... lots to consider
You should check out “Four Thousand Weeks” by Oliver Burkeman. Currently halfway through it but it’s touches on a lot of the topics you discussed offering a more realistic approach to time management. Not your typical life-hack kind of book but I found myself enjoying some of the philosophical messages it brings to the table.
I am one of those formally trained time managers and I’m pretty good at it, but I can humbly say that it is one of the worst things to be. You are absolutely right—you end up not giving anything your all. And you’re exhausted, physically and mentally, trying to give everyone and everything their due time. I can tell you that the most valuable thing in my life right now (aside from family and faith) is time. It’s so hard to carve out time as you so painfully explained but I applaud that you have your priorities set with set times to play sports…and I love that you gather your friends each week. Just don’t forget that there’s a clock counting down on those older than you and you will not get that time back. That damn clock!

i was wondering about your structure bc of different work schedule. good to know there is solidarity there haha.
i agree i think about the conclusion of sorts. definitely trying to figure out what i actually need to prioritize but its stressful
ya, not an easy task at all - am trying a new method this week with these yellow notepads i use will let you know if it is successful
