I've got 2 kids and work 40 hours. And lately I've been wanting to work on a side project so badly, I decided I had to plan a set time of the day for this.
In the evenings the kids keep me busy, but after our youngest gets to bed, I do a minimum of 1 hour of coding before I go to sleep, on working days only. Every bit of time I got to spare in the weekend is a plus, but if I don't feel like it, I won't bother.
It's just that, because it's a set time, I find myself coding on my side projects every day. I got this tip from a podcast, which I'm thankful for.
And on average I'll put in about 8 hours every week, because of extra opportunities I get during evenings or weekends.

Someone used to call me "Learn more", and I'm spending forever to live up to it. You'll find me dabbling in random stuff 👨💻 or missing a wide open shot in 🏀
Since having children, I'm lucky to have 1-2 hours a week!

It still counts 😊
And good thing you still have some time to spend in the Dev community too. Thanks
