When friendships lose depth due to time pressure

My best friend and I used to have these long unhurried conversations but now when we get together we both feel pressure to catch up efficiently and we end up talking about logistics instead of actually being together. We both miss the old way but don't know how to get back there without seeming like we're rejecting our current busy lives.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The urgency to maximize limited time paradoxically diminishes the quality of connection.
