...and even times when it's better to just text me --like when I'm working-- and 80% of the time I still don't hear back.
Anyway. Maybe, in your case, add something to your voicemail greeting or in your ads asking callers to help out and leave specific, comfortable times it's best to be contacted if they have to leave messages.
And I would say that if they still don't leave specific times, don't call back. If they want to see you badly enough, they'll keep trying.
On a lighter note, given the common theme of most of us thinking with the other head, there's probably not enough blood to enable the memory to relay call-back times! 
I hope this was helpful. 
When we get calls that say "Hi, this is John. My number is 123-456-7890. I'd like to see you. Please give me a call." how long after the call is it ok to call?
In a perfect world they would tell me "Please call me at this number until 10pm and tomorrow 11-1pm or whatever."
Case in point. I had a VM that I picked up this morning at 10:15 while doing my bookwork. He had called at 8:30pm last night, Sunday. My phone was off for family reasons.
You guys are always saying how you never get called back, so I called him. After I said who I was, he just said "Not a good time." not real happily. I said I'm sorry and hung up.
Am I not in a catch22 here?
What should I have done, just not called him back? Oh--in the message he wanted to get together last night, or sometime this week.
Opinions please.
Hugs,
JD
