I've tried to articulate this in the past but I don't think I really achieved it. Today on my bike I think I got a little closer.

I took a lot of time off work a couple of years ago. I felt really stressed, and struggled to be organised or use my time "wisely". I had no job, no kids, no responsibilities tugging on my time. I learnt that it was not entirely external pressures that made me feel rushed and made me disorganised.

Since coming back to full time work I've added a few more commitments to my life, and I don't think I've suffered much for it.

Technology is the active human interface with the material world. But the word is consistently misused to mean only the enormously complex and specialised technologies of the past few decades, supported by massive exploitation both of natural and human resources. - Ursula K. Le Guin
