Methinks you exaggerate slightly.

> how do you keep learning so much everyday about the world, complex technical concepts, becoming technical experts, opening and running businesses, nurturing friendships and relationships, and fulfilling the various needs of modern life.

Little by little, day by day.

I agree with the above comment, you seem to be idealizing these mysterious others on the internet and assuming all are paragons of productivity. Meanwhile, this site is largely a locus of procrastination for me, as it is for many, many others, I suspect. My gentle suggestion: find peace with who you are and what you really value. Maybe through meditation, or through therapy?

Everything I have, I did it through consistency - a couple hours a day is all you need to get started.
