I don't find motivation to work on side projects, I use it when I have it. Sometimes I'm done after a work day and I just want to play a video game, go outside, do whatever else that doesn't involve my computers. Other times there is a lot of motivation and I can spend full weekends and nights just coding away on a side project.

What I've learned over the years is to never force myself to do "work" for side projects. To be fair, my side projects usually don't get anywhere aside from learning/hacking on new things. My skills improve and I'm having fun and that's good enough. Pressure is for actual work that pays the bills.
