I work 50+ hours a week already but I still manage to put in three to four hours of side-work every day (on weekdays that's usually 9pm to 1am), in my experience so far:

- The less correlated your side-project is to your day job, the better. Brain craves novelty, even after I am completely worn out by day work, by the time I've cycled back home I am ready to go again, but at something completely different.

- Move, I commute by bike and I have seen it make a big difference when you're sitting at a screen 14 hours per day.

- Make it a routine, at home I have two backpacks always ready, one for work and one for cowork, after dinner I just grab the second one and leave with barely having to think about whether I am staying in or going for another half day of work.

- Have a dedicated space, I am lucky to have a 24/7 co-working space literally around the corner from where I live or I would not be able to do this, it really helps your brain to physically switch context depending on what you do.

- It goes without saying, but you ought to really love what you are doing in order to forgo almost everything else...
