How do you make time for extra reading other than for tests like the CFA?

So I’m taking level 1 hopefully in December and I have a full time job, even though I work remotely right now. I make about a couple of hours a day for CFA related study. I have the wealth of great books lying around like the letters to shareholders, McKinsey and investment valuation by Aswath and his numbers and narratives book. I want to read all that but I have a hard time making time for extra reading. I don’t know whether to just focus on the CFA and leave everything’s else. But then I feel strong urge to read at least Aswaths books and his MBA courses online. How do you guys make time for all this? Because I’m really frustrated, I feel like the CFA is interfering with my education, like Mark Twain said, but then I still have to pass at the of the end to get interviews.
