1. Get good quality sleep over quantity.

2. Set a schedule and stick to it as good as you can, but don't torture yourself if you blow it sometimes.

3. Wake up earlier, do some work on your side hustle in the morning hours. This helps motivate you later too, and gets some of your creative time in on the side hustle before you start the day job.

4. When you get home, chill, eat, shower, watch an hour or two of TV or whatever helps you veg, and then get to work.

5. Set some short term goals, 1 month, 3 months etc.

6. Set a work area in your house so that you don't have distractions immediately accessible.

7. If you have decent vacation time built up or "unlimited".. Schedule taking off every Friday for a month to kick start things, that'll give you a three day weekend to work. If they don't like that do every Wednesday for a month, or Monday etc. Take one day for a month each week and dedicate it to your side hustle.

Don't beat yourself up over wanting to enjoy life some too, if you are all work and no play/relax you'll fail at it all.
