Tough one. Few suggestions:

#1 Track your time for few days and categorize each minute of what you do. How many of them are productive and pushing your business forward? In most cases 20% of your time is bringing you 80% of the gains. Pareto principle.

#2 Are you focused on few important things or your focus is spread to too many things? In most cases it is better not to do somethings rather than do them badly. Focus on the 20% from the point #1.

#3 Do you get enough rest and fun? If you work too hard you are less productive and with exhaustion it takes you 2-3 times longer to complete tasks than that you would do with enough energy/rest/focus. Have at least one day off (or 8 consecutive hours) a week and try to relax few times a day with one bigger break and several smaller ones.
