If you want to do it, you will. If you "can't find the time"
it's probably not something you actually intend to do; it's
a daydream/fantasy like learning Spanish, or spending more
time with your sister, or volunteering at the homeless shelter,
or some such.
I have a friend who's passionate about writing fantasy stories
but has four kids. She gets up at 3am and writes while everyone
else is asleep. She also 'forgets' her kids soccer games and most
other social commitments, has an overgrown garden, neglects paying
her bills, and routinely screws up other aspects of her life.
She wants to do it and she does. (Maybe she should daydream
about it instead?)
P.S. I force myself to write a poem every 2 to 8 weeks unless I
decide not to.
