You may not think it, but its a big undertaking to fit more 'activities' into my language learning. I only spend about 7 hours a week all up. Its usually split up into little pockets of activity throughout each day. So it's likely that 10 - 15 minutes per 'session' is the most I can afford.
Of course with such limited time, every minute spent say... writing... is a minute not spent listening or reading. So it's all a careful balancing act. I often wish language learning could take a higher priority and get solid chunks of attention - half an hour or more per activity. But it is what it is.
Seven hours a week is still a good amount. You're consistent, and I think you make good use of your time. I know it's hard to make way for other activities, because input is very important, but I think you will get a lot from your output. I think it will also have a positive effect on how you process your input and use your input time.
