Too much work, not enough play/learning

I’ve taken over a lot of responsibility at work over the last 6 or so months and it’s caused me to lose a lot of time for learning new things. I’m still learning things related to work, about our tool set and such, but nothing “fun” per se. I went to DEF CON and Bsides LV a few weeks ago and saw a bunch of cool things but lately I haven’t had time to put towards anything quirky or fun. Have others felt this way at some point in their career?
