I always make sure the work that's paying the bills is done, before I work on the side project. Other than that, I'll typically commit to 5 hours a week. Usually in 2 sessions.

having a dedicated time to work on the side project tasks is a good idea. Balance does matter and it is sometimes difficult to stop what you want to do on the side project. OP's point about not getting into analysis/paralysis is the reason that I work on the side projects just to get see if the damn thing works or not.
