Just wanted to reassure you that this is normal because she is still only 4 months old. She feels like she has been around forever and you're lagging way behind and things should be stable by now, but actually it hasn't been very long, and it will be much easier in another few months when she will need to eat less often (particularly as you can introduce solid foods) and will be less fussy (because she'll be more able to self-soothe and more able to do simple things like sit up by herself instead of having to ask you to help).
I know some people are afraid that "oh no once the baby starts walking, it's over!" but actually once they're entertaining themselves and wearing themselves out it requires less attention (in that you have to follow them around, but can be carrying a notebook).
Really, don't worry about it too much. I mean, yeah, don't lose your sense of self, but don't panic and think that this is forever and things have to get done now if they're ever going to. Think of it like vacation or having a broken computer; hard to work, or temporarily unimportant to work, but doesn't mean you're a loser who will never amount to anything.
And for another bit of perspective, I know tons of people who have loads of free time and still don't do two hours of creative or interesting stuff a week.
