A few ways which work for me:
1. Get up early. Even although I prefer to sleep in till 7, I can get in a lot of go if I get up at 6am instead. (Yawn...)
2. Take go problem books everywhere. Good study material during all those times I have to wait for people.
3. Play free games on KGS (use autoplay). This means I don't have to worry if I get interrupted and I can just resign without it having any effect on my rank.
4. Play turn based go on the dragon go server.
5. Do go problems before I check my email. (which I don't always do, but it is a noble goal, right? ^^)
How do you fit go into your life?

Wow, that's pretty disrespectful of your opponents. Just because they're free games doesn't mean people don't play seriously. I'll make sure to never play you on KGS: what's your name there?
Another turn based server which I like a lot is OGS (http://www.online-go.com) because you can a) analyse a board directly and b) you have conditional moves.
Conditional moves are great as you can "store" your brain work, you do not have to re-think a situation all over again. It speeds up games as well.
With respect to resigning unrated games on KGS, I agree with kirkmc. This is why I play more on OGS than on KGS: I can walk away any second and just use some spre minutes in between.
Hi!
I play Go on KGS.
My KGS name is Sighris which is also my name on MySpace!
I usually finish my daily duties until 5pm, then log on to KGS and play or chat while doing various stuff at the same time. If I feel like studying go or watching a movie, I just pay less attention to KGS. (A second monitor is quite helpful in this aspect.)
