I totally understand that you may be burned out after work. But ask yourself after work when you were just watching TV and relaxing, should you be doing that or working on your own business.
Now if you don’t want to code anymore in your brain is just fried. I would probably do this, I would slow down on my regular job. Meaning I would take more breaks into a little less work, meaning your productivity at work may drop down to 80%. Then when you get home do you have at least 20% more to work on your own business.
When I was working a 9-to-5, and I was remodeling my house, I would work on that remodel from 6 PM to 10 PM when I got home. And if that wasn’t enough I would take a week off for vacation and just work on my house.
Now I know that is not the same thing but that is a way to get things done when you don’t have the time or energy.
Bottom line is that all your coworkers are working as developers like you at their full-time job. If you want a better life and to make more money than your coworkers you simply have to work more whether you like it or not.
