I also like to work on side projects and I wanted to get into Pixel art and making music, but I agree with OP about it being hard to sit in front of the computer after being in front all day for work.
My biggest source of happiness comes from playing the violin and listening to music. I tried getting into making electronic music, but I too hit the wall of not wanting to sit in front of a computer anymore after workday. That's why I like the violin's pure analog-ness: absolutely raw and crude, no abstraction, no interface, fret-less, zero-config, no knobs to be _fiddled_ with.

Hiking & photography mostly. The photography I'm not very good at, but I enjoy it and I'd like more time to do it available to get better at it.

Best way is practice. The photo per day challenge makes you accountable. Plus it is a reason to go places you otherwise wouldn't.

I have many. Mostly woodworking, restoring old bicycles and playing guitar (delta and chicago blues).
Why woodworking exactly? I read about various cs engineers having this hobby surprisingly often.
