(never only) 40hr/week job (project manager), a wife and a year old child

I am just about to launch my second big(ish) side project.

When outside my "real job", the priorities are with my child and my wife. So the time for anything else is scarce and the most is done after both of them go to bed.

- limit your TV

- limit your distractions on the computer (I use RescueTime)

- learn to differentiate between motion and action (http://jamesclear.com/taking-action)

- automate everything you can

- motivation, motivation, motivation (when sitting on the toilet you aren't thinking about your side project, you don't want it bad enough)

- outsource
I build so I can learn new skills. So until now outsourcing wasn't a part of the master plan. But you are correct, delegating the right way is also an option to boost development.
