A full-time startup project might mean 12+ hours a day. In that scenario it doesn't really hurt to spend the first few hours "getting in the zone" or "wasting time". If you only have a 3 hour slot then a couple non-productive hours can be crippling.

Yeah, it can be crippling.
But once, I went a whole week sleeping 3 hours a day. I'd spend from 11-7 at work, then 8 PM - 7 AM on my startup, sleep 'til 10, repeat. I loaded up on NoDoz. After that week, I got a horrible cold, and was knocked out for the week after that (though I still went to work), but in the meantime I got a large number of features done.
My point is, if you have the drive and commitment, you will *find time*, even if your situation is biased against finding time.
