i did this 8 years ago. for us it went a bit beyond. 9-5 by day & startup otherwise (including weekends). It definitely gets very tiring & exhaustive.

Some of the things we practiced were: a. keep aggressive but realistic goals for every week. b. utilize weekends to achieve 70% of the goals c. in our 9-5 day, we had atleast an hour or two of opportunity where we could have done some additional work to meet our weekly goals. for eg - talking to freelancers & reviewing their work just after lunch, talking to prospective clients during some coffee breaks, etc. d. do give yourself a couple of lighter days to relax & look forward to the thrill of your excitement.

Cheers buddy & good luck.
