100000% seconding the recommendation for Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals. You sound overwhelmed–just focus on what you need to do today. My litmus test: If you spent everyday like today, what would your life be like in a year? That way I make sure to not skimp on two big things:
•Health: exercise, eating well, sleep
•Something that will expand my life over time: learning and satisfying a non work-related curiosity; doing something social 1-2x a week
Set limits on:
•Things that annoy you and steal your time; say no to energy vampires, social media, etc
•Occasionally I'll try to address an inefficiency (for me, it's meal prep), but make sure that it's not my main focus.
No one does it all. It only looks that way because people only post their highlight reels on the internet, and no character on TV spends time realistically. Most of life is commuting and chores and errands, the unsexy stuff of maintenance. Since this can't be avoided, don't act like it's a waste of your life. It IS a lot of life.
