Anecdote.  I once asked Dale Tuggy how Ed Feser, a friend of both of us, does it. How does he sire a house full of kids, teach a heavy community college load, read papers all over, maintain an excellent, content-rich blog, and write so many books (see second article below)?

Dale, who has written on mysterianism in connection with the Trinity, replied, "It's a mystery."
