It sounds like you just have a time management problem. You might try a different strategy that maximizes your time.

• You may need to adjust your sleep schedule.
• Try taking a scenic route during rush hour and avoid being out when traffic is bad.
• Find alternative shopping and entertainment closer to home.
• Try doing errands on the way to and/or from work.
• Add a pleasurable stop to your commute that allows you to bypass the whole mess.
• Plan things as far in advance as you possibly can so you can adjust your schedule as needed.

Any or all of those things might help you find a better strategy that allows you to just slow down a bit. There might be a dozen other things specific to your lifestyle. The most important thing though, is that once you find a successful strategy to free up your valuable time you have to stick to it. That requires a little discipline but it gives you options too. A successful strategy will account for many of those pesky times when life happens and screws up the most well thought out plans. That will let you approach interruptions to your slower schedule more calmly and give you peace of mind.

I hope you figure out what works for you.
