I don't. I'm way too tired to do any work in the evening.

I've been most successful doing my side project work in the morning, before I leave for my "real job."

I recommend getting up 2.5 hours before you have to leave for work. Take that first half hour to shower, make coffee, and get set up to work on your side project.

Do not start web browsing. Just go to your to-do list and start working on one items.

Getting up early will only be difficult for maybe a week or two, then you'll get used to it.

If you're still interested in doing "work" in the evening, use that time to jot down some ideas in evernote and plan for the next morning. Don't force it.
