Get a partner to work on it with. Set some times, split up the responsibilities (so you both have to do less) and work on it as much as possible while you can. Your work will motivate each other.
Personally I tend to get up three hours earlier than the day job, work on my projects, go to work then have an earlier night. But that doesn't work for everyone. You need to do what suits you. Increasing the amount of exercise I.E. cardio can improve motivation and productivity.
I don't think getting up earlier than my current 7AM would work for me. But perhaps I can make my morning time more optimal. Thank you for the suggestion.

That, coupled with hectic hours has killed off my motivation. My side project has worked for a few clients and i eat my own dog food for my website, but man, i'm just tired at night.
I'd say start with the big idea, then chunk it and do it bottom up. good luck.
