Not enough hours? Or too much to do?

I've lately fallen into this trap of thinking that there's just not enough time in the day to get the things done that I want to get done. Currently my list of things I like to do are as follows:
  • TV, around 6-10 hours a week (including news)
  • Crossfit, around 1 hour a day (not including recovery)
  • Kickball, 1-2 hours each Monday
  • 8-ball, 2-3 hours each Thursday
  • Work, about 40 hours a week
  • Sleep, optimistically 56 hours a week
On top of this, I would like to go out weekends, get my laundry done, clean the house, prepare meals at home (instead of eat out), and a bunch of other projects that come and go.

I'm wondering then if it's unreasonable to try to be a salsa-dancing, israeli-folk dancing, pool playing, tv watching, gym going, kickball playing, working, cow roping, social butterfly. For me at least it's really unreasonable, considering if I do choose to do something, I'll obsess until it's perfect. Then again, I could just realize that all of these "extra things" that I want to do, don't have to be done now. Sure they're available now, but I don't have to dive in right now. I'm glad this doesn't extend into my shopping habits. I'd be the most impulsive shopper anyone's ever known...

Tonight I feel like some chili...
