Don't build in the evening (unless you're single, then have at it). After a long day of work, working more is the last thing I want to do. The wife and kids need some attention.
Go to bed early (10pm-ish) with the fam then get up early. I get up at 5am every morning. Your mind is fresh and invigorated. I find in the early hours of the morning I'm very productive, I think clearer and my wife isn't bugging me to come to bed every 15 minutes.
This is how I handle freelance and personal projects on top of the full-time job. It gives me an extra 3 hours a day without wearing me out.
