A little at a time.

Force yourself to do something every day, even if it's only 15 minutes of work. Write a blog post, research a technology, test some code, etc. Just do something to move your project forward. Progress is made in little steps.

As an aside, I've found that with kids, this is the way to get anything done. I just don't have large blocks of time I can spend working on stuff anymore. I've found that although it's inefficient to work in small increments of time, sometimes it's either make zero progress or make a tiny amount of progress.

Second this.

I have young kids and am trying to build a side project.

I have found that an hour or two at night and maybe a block of 2-3 hours when my wife can take the kids to friends' place is the best i can hope for.

Its hard to get into any flow in these timeframes however its forced me to organise and prioritise my side project work more than i otherwise would have.

this is probably the right question, I have just made a little calc, that if I dedicated 1 hour a day to my side project from the first day it came up on my mind I 'd have spent 400 hours on it, and it would be probably more than complete!
