You’re afraid to be alone
By filling your work schedule and occupying all your time and mental space doing things, you don’t have the chance to think about your own existence. Thus, the “I don’t have time” serves as a mechanism for not seeing being alone with yourself and all those questions and existential anguish that torment you when you take a break.
Your lack of time helps you get rid of uncomfortable questions like “Is this really the life I want to lead?” The noise of the activities allows you to dodge such a question.
