From being in a similar situation here is what I learned recently. You have Finite time and you have finite energy, usually people want to do more things than they have available resources for. You have to internalize and accept this. You cannot accomplish all the tasks you want to do sustainably.

Fully internalizing this allows you to find what it is you really care about. For example you want to write a personal journal not for journaling sake but there is a goal you are trying to achieve that you think journaling is the way to reach it, same with meditation, work and everything on your list. They are tasks that lead to a goal. Accepting you have limited time allows you to prioritize your goals. When you do this you will be able to focus on what is truly important to you. Not everything on your list will move the needle to your real goals, slash them. Working hard and pushing yourself does not gaurantee success... remeber to live the life you want not the one you think you have to live to get the life you want.
