Question

I was about to write a long post about how I'm unable to allow a part of my free time to my dev projects (and other hobbies) but to avoid the "TL;DR" let's keep things simple: how do you make time for these things in your everyday life? Provide context if you can:

• How many hours do you work a day?
• How many do you sleep? (It does take time...)
• Do you have other unavoidable obligations? (family, parenting...)
• How much free time do you have, daily? (on average)
• How do you stay motivated when you have too little time and too much to do?

Some context on my issue

• I do have free time, possibly more than most people, but I'm not able to use it efficiently and it still seems not enough
• The things I have to do keeps piling up (even things not related to dev projects)
• It makes me feel unproductive, which is discouraging... making me even more unproductive
• I have a tendency to reduce my sleeping hours to have more free time, no need to explain why it's not a good thing
