I find my self in a similar situation often. Though, I have not tried much to prevent it. If I am ever stressed or just can't think I go out running or biking. It is best if you work really hard to wear yourself down (Well, not completely, but you have to exert some energy). Then you can enjoy a shower (Best if you have time to cool off and relax first). Usually afterward I feel much better. Personally, I would stay away from caffeine and other things that are not something that you do (for yourself) to accomplish the clean state of mind. (Not that you should not drink caffeinated beverages, but not to do so heavily. They can help so one or two is fine, but you get the picture.) You know how you feel when you accomplish something that you have been working on for a while, and you look back at it and say wow? If you do it yourself you will enjoy it more, and it is not just a physical thing, but also a mental thing that you are trying to accomplish. Now for finding time, you don't. You just have to do it so that you can save time. When you can't think efficiently then you are slower and take up time. If you clear your mind it will take less time to accomplish what you are doing. Once you squeeze in time to exercise then eventually your schedule could relax back to its previous state and perhaps even more. But like I stated earlier I have trouble with this too. So I am not the best person to take advice from, but one thing that I have found to work is exercise and I wanted to let you know that I agree with Delphix.
(And I think the finding someone to help make you go (and you for him) is a great idea, but I would probably not end up doing that. So you/I need to find someone that is willing, and (even though I don't really want to and you might not and want to) after time you/I might enjoy it or at least feel obligated to go for that person.)
Don't worry I am not suggesting us teaming up (we are probably not even in the same area...I hope.) Because right now I think I am ok and will probably find out later that I needed to do that...but until then I will continue running and biking when I need to, and on my own.
