It absolutely is possible, but you have to be completely honest with yourself and have some discipline. If sitting on the couch and doing nothing is important too you, then you literally have to plan time to sit on the couch and do nothing.
Everything you can possibly do, including doing nothing, because doing nothing is doing something, has to be categorized into important/not important and urgent/not urgent.
Any thing not important and not urgent should be completely eliminated from your life:
Most of us say we don't have time anymore because we miss the aimless free time of our youth. But that time is gone...
Sitting on the couch doing nothing doesn't have the same appeal when there's a timer and more shit to do waiting at the other end of it.
I know. It sucks. But time is the most valuable resource you'll ever have in your life. We all only have a certain amount of time, then we'll cease to exist.
Would you rather spend your life unhappy on the couch because you're stressed out that you don't have enough time to do everything, or would you like to take control of your life and truly value the time you're given?
I'm doing the best I can, but I only have so much energy to expend in a day before my mind and body are shot. Meanwhile shit keeps piling up. I can't just not do all the tedious bullshit my job requires.
I get it.
I'm actively looking for ways to downsize my life at this point.
