Take a clue from those whose time seems the most filled - if you have a lot to do, you get a lot done. It doesn't seem like it should work that way, but in fact, those who seem to have super busy lives always seem to get almost everything accomplished that they planned to, and they do this with such grace that it seems effortless.
While it's not truly effortless, the fact is they don't sit and agonize over every little task that's put before them. They have routines in place and they stick with the routines. Certainly, they aren't immune to the surprises life may toss at them, but they don't allow these surprises to push them too far off track of what their goals are. This is because they know what to expect from the rest of their routine and they know what they have planned to do on a daily, sometimes hourly, basis.
Life surprises are generally no more than a hiccup in their plans. Of course, tragedy will shift everything, and those aren't the surprises I'm referring to. I am referring to those normal interruptions that may send some of you completely off track. Those incidents that pop up and derail your whole day.
Being that easily derailed could mean that you aren't maintaining a good, solid routine to start with. Not a routine that is your dictator. One that you are in control of.
