You don't need enormous swathes of time to do something you've been dying to try. In my experience it's only possible to work steadily on a long-haul project such as writing a novel if you train yourself to accept small amounts and accomplishments. Believing that you have to free up entire 2-hour blocks of time to accomplish anything might scare you into doing nothing at all.
Take a project you're working on and see if you can find ways to fit it into your life as it is, not how you wish it could be. Can you do anything in 5-10 minutes? Fifteen minutes? Half an hour? What about while you're waiting in line, sitting on a bus or driving home from work? If you're a parent who spends 90% of her day running carpools, is there something you can do while you wait for kids?
Try fitting a tiny part of your dream into a corner of your day.
