One way (though perhaps not the best and certainly not the only) to look at it is that the forty hour job is a filter. Ideas that don't get worked on are things that deep down don't seem worth working on after hours (never mind quitting the forty hour gig for).

Definitely agree. Who says you have to find time for the side project? I believe if it's an idea you're truly interested in, you'll find time somehow. In the meantime, go spend that time with friends/family, a hobby, or a new TV show (I recommend Fargo)
