Maybe work on changing your perspective to longer term focus and goals than your daily activities, if you do, what your doing will become easier and adaptable to meet your goals.

To focus on the present is to forget the future and to guide your future through the present moment in decisions.
To focus on the future is to forget the present, guiding you to a point where your desire to fulfil your destiny takes control of your daily activites.

While the latter can sound freightening I am sure there is an optimal balance of this scale for everyone.

If it is peace you wish to find, study your ambition and set a lofty goal to surpass that ambition then know that your subconcious will help guide you to peace as it has found a purpose. I think doing this will help you in your day to day life.
