You need to actively prune your calendar. Regardless of whether or not you want to interview for a job. If you entire working day is filled with meetings, you will not have the time to actually do good work as manager that only you can do. It's probably worth your while to block off 2-3 hours of your work day for individual contributor work (say thinking/working about strategy or product or engineering roadmap.) Just go out to the local coffeeshop. Invite other mangers occasionally to join you. You just use that time to become strategic about your work. When the the time comes to interview, nobody will notice that you've not been around for a few hours. CEOs routinely do this when they have to take sensitive meetings. They are not usually in their offices most of the day.
