I think you have my disease, which is not knowing what to do with space in one's life. When I am not completely overloaded, then I have to make actual choices, which is threatening as all hell. When I overload myself with work and volunteer responsibilities, then I am at the mercy of my self-imposed regime and my physical limitations.
Problem is, it only prolongs the issue, doesn't resolve it. Someday I'm going to wind up flat on my back for an extended period of time because of this lifestyle, with nothing but time on my hands, and fewer choices about how I get to fill it. Worked great in my 30's. Now, in my 40's, it's not such a hot strategy. I suggest you reorient now, before it ingrains any more deeply as a habit.
