squeezes in

Manages to fit

To squeeze in is to fit something into a tight space or schedule, usually with effort: I can squeeze in a quick meeting at three.

The phrase suggests barely managing to include something among competing demands.

People squeeze in workouts between obligations, or squeeze in one more passenger on a crowded bus.
