Exactly, I could not plan my day like this if I wanted to. There's simply not that many structured demands for my time. I'm not important enough.

I discovered that if I don't impose some structure on those "unstructured demands for my time", they tend to crowd out the whole day and give me lots of anxiety. Adult life is so full of bullshit erands, and other people are very time consuming...

Or maybe I'm just burned out.

Reduce bullshit errands as much as possible. Next reduce people to who you care about.
