I only have side hustles, PhD, workouts (running, powerlifting) and trying to prioritize life outside the university and already find it quite hard. Sometimes it is indeed feel impossible, and you just have to accept it. You just have to learn to be able to accept that if you want to focus more on PhD, your side hustles will suffer and vice versa. You also need to know what you want to get from your job and your PhD and only focus on those things, ignoring as much what is wanted from you by your boss or supervisor, but not aligned with your interests - because otherwise it will simply suck your time. You have to stop being perfectionist. You have to learn what the most productive hours of the day for you, what hours are good for doing what kinds of work (deep, shallow, etc), when is optimal for you to go to gym (I usually go after I am really done with all the work for the day). Sometimes there are busy periods, when one part of your life should take the majority of your time, and that is OK too. Hope, that some of it helps.
