Thank you for stopping by! I am a full-stack developer that combines the power of entrepreneurship and programming to make the lives of programmers easier.
One mindset I think really helps in this situation is realizing that we're not actually trading time for money but we're trading energy for it. Surely there is time between when you come back from home and you go to sleep for you to post something, but you don't. Why? because you are missing a key element: energy. You are exhausted after a full day of work.
How about working on your own blog before going to work, when you have the most amount of energy, in the morning? It's the same amount of time as if you were to do it after work, except you are now allocating much more energy for the blog and less for work.
I already wake up fairly early (05:45 - 06:00am) but I mostly use that time to work on my health (running, working out) as I find that the most important thing I don't want to skip on (and like you said, after work I've got so much less energy for it, or excuses not to go).
But I think I could make some more/extra time in the morning. I've got the luck that my starting times are flexible as well, so I could just start work a little later to spend some more time on things I actually want to have done.
Thank you for the great suggestion, this is super useful!

This is so very true and such a great idea!
