Work in your side-project in a regular basis, 10am/7pm. You are always in front of a computer, anyways.

Don't throw away a comfortable situation thinking that you are running after a dream because you can finish without both of them (and this happen with the most of us). I'm much more happy now that I found another good job than when I left the last one to become a digital nomad.

Most employment contracts have clauses to the effect of "anything created using company tools or company time is owned by the company". If there isn't a clear dilineation between your work hours, work location and equipment you could get into a contentious situation. (I'm not an attorney but I recently consulted with one for this exact reason.)
