I already do well with working 7-8 hours a day, just doing my job (and that means managing multiple projects), and doing some personal stuff. I just need to slowly add other activities so I get used to doing more.

Yeah, heard of the spoon theory. Oh, 7-8 hours a day, that's already full time work for you then? This is what you said you are not sure you want to do, or was that more than 7-8 hours a day?

The good news is that what I do now work wise doesn't drain me NEARLY as much as my old job, because of the political stress and environmental fatigue of my old job. My current work is stressful only in a positive stress - the stress encourages me to complete projects and be productive, but not to worry or feel negative.

That sounds good.
Then you just need to be able to find a way to do your sports training and art projects?
As for doing multiple projects regularly in a day that you didn't do before - I find the way that works for me is getting used to each one, one at a time, then when it's become habit, it no longer takes resources much. Make sense? Hope this is helpful.
(In my case this currently isn't enough that it becomes habit, because I can fall apart due to the issues I've got so then I have to rebuild back up to the previous functionality level and so on. But when I was more functional before, this is how it worked for me.)
