Deciding to get off your butt is the hard part...until you do. Then it's the easy part. Anyone can decide.
Now getting something done - that's really the hard part. OP is right on: pick something small and get started. You don't have to quit your job.
And here's the tricky part: You have to get something done every day. Something, anything. It doesn't have to be big, it just has to be something. Get one little thing working each night after work and save the bigger stuff for the weekends.
When you cross something off you list every day, it feels empowering. And you see real progress.
OTOH, if you don't do this, before you know it 2 weeks will have gone by with nothing changed and a million good excuses. They one day you'll wonder, "What ever happened to that great idea I had on the way to work?"
