Balancing Life & Replationships

You make the time. Tell your partner when you want some time to do things alone.
Like everything else in life, make the effort and hopefully things will work out
 
The SO and I (now married 10 years) had slowly ramped up our time together for similar reasons as to what you are explaining. We started out spending weekends together. Then it progressed to weekends and dinner every Wednesday. From there weekends and dinner Mondays and Wednesdays. Then I started sleeping over on weekends and before we got engaged I was sleeping over Friday to Tuesday, only staying at my place on Wednesday and Thursday evenings. When we got engaged I moved in and started renting out my place.

Guess the point is you need to make the effort and work on a natural progression that you're (both) comfortable with.

In a perfect world and relationship this makes sense and I agree but seeing that OP and his SO only see each other on weekends, it will make it difficult.
 
"you have other lives outside the relationship as well which need to be attended to. "

When you get a significant other, you have to accept, be happy and be OK with the fact that other hobbies or personal interests may suffer. But the key here is, "be happy" with it. I love spending time with my partner so I don't mind cutting down on my gaming for example. Of course, not saying quit your hobbies but I truly think if you are super into someone, you'd want to spend more time with them naturally. It never feels like a sacrifice to me and I love binging series with my partner and even developing hobbies together. If one of us has errands to run, we just do it together on the weekend too. Sometimes it's just about having your partner there. You don't need to talk face to face the entire weekend and just be doing that the entire time. Why not combine things you want to do on the weekend together?

The ONLY thing I will say I struggle with is balancing other friendships as my weekend is mostly reserved for my partner but I have started to see friends during the week after work for a drink or dinner. It actually works quite well for me.

So yes basically if you are miserable at the prospect of not getting to your "other things that need attending to" on a weekend, then you are not in the right relationship OR simply not ready.
