At what time do you come home/start working? I'm living next to work, but with 8 hours to work I don't have much time to do anything else.. start around 9, work until around 6pm (8hours + 1hour lunch) that doesn't leave much time

Request a shorter lunch - there's research out there to say that taking a long lunch makes you less productive in the afternoon.

Also, do something physical for your lunch - even if it's just walking to a shop and back.

Your evenings matter, yes you'll be more productive in the mornings but you have to go to work. The sooner you finish work, the more time you have to relax before you start work again.

I'd also ask about starting earlier or working from home or flexitime.

If you can afford the time on weekends try and work in the mornings.

I'd also force yourself to have a night or two off every week.

Build a routine, your body-clock will change and it may start to exhaust you if you change too many things too fast. So expect to work at a slower pace until you've refined your routine.
