How can one achieve a balance between prolonged worship—especially prayer—and performing other duties without falling into boredom or negligence, while maintaining khushu' (devotional humility/awe)?

The most beloved deeds to Allah are those that are most constant, so one should undertake only what one can bear of worship and persevere in it with gradual increases. One must know their duties and ensure that none of them interfere with another, prioritizing obligatory duties like the five daily prayers. If prolonging a prayer affects another obligation or a more emphasized Sunnah, such as studying, which is considered a form of dutifulness to parents, then the more important task takes precedence. If there is no conflict, then the prayer can be prolonged as much as possible, as long as it is maintained consistently. Voluntary acts of worship (Nawafil) should be undertaken according to one's capacity and with perseverance, increasing them gradually. Time should be organized by starting with the Fajr prayer and the remembrance of Allah, then identifying and dividing tasks, and spending any surplus time on permissible activities or supererogatory acts of worship after fulfilling the obligatory ones. One should seek Allah's help in organizing and utilizing time.
