When do you guys have time to interview?

Current first year and I hate my job and am getting crushed. I'm in the process of interviewing with a couple firms, but legit have no time to complete the case studies and I barely have enough time to take phone calls. 

What do you guys recommend? Should I start pushing back on work to have more time to recruit out of banking? I feel like I won't get any offers at this pace, when I can't focus on the case studies.
