I'm in this situation right now. I used to struggle to work on my business after getting home from my day job and then reprimand myself for not doing enough.
A big change happened when I just accepted that my mind and body were not going to let me do what I wanted to do, so I changed my sleeping cycle.
Now, I go to bed at 7:30pm and wake up at 3:15am.
That gives me several hours when my mind is fresh to work on my business. My day job gets whatever I have left over.
It helps that I'm single and have no kids, but luckily that's a decision I made.
I also do stuff like making two weeks' worth of food in one go and freezing it, then reheating it and eating the same meal every day.
I find that creating routines / habits (and meditation) helps me to be more productive and focussed.
