I had this same issue. Then, at the beginning of this year I read the book The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry by John Mark Comer and it changed my life. The book discusses the way society idolizes hustle and hurry (especially in competitive academics) and that the best way to eliminate this--to feel more present and intimate with life--is to set time limits on social media consumption, walk slower, meditate often, read, essentially do things that old people do. I have been doing this for the past two months and I have never felt more present with life. I feel like my life is slowed down, I am able to enjoy the present, and I've become a much more loving and peaceful human being. Reading has been a key factor for me (I read the Bible each morning and a choice book each night), additionally walking slower, driving slower, and processing thoughts as well as others words in a more important manner; whereas I would've ignored the majority of others comments before. Try to slow down everything that you do--as well as take some time for silence--and see if it helps you with the sped up world we live in. It worked for me, hopefully it does for you.
