Talk to your manager, If you are a team lead it is possible you are doing both your team lead work and individual contributor work. I found that was not possible when I took over my team because I am building the team, getting projects unblocked all the while trying to work on features - I realized I am in critical path and began blocking my teams progress. You have to let your "I can get this done faster than others" mentality as a team lead role and let others take charge of their work. Being a team lead does not mean more coding, in fact it should be a small part of your job because you have to focus on other problems such and mentoring your team, aligning the team with corporate goals and building out the team- These are extremely time consuming tasks.
