I am currently building my first side project a android app which send users location based tweets alerts ( if user has subscribe for a particular location) and also let user location based tweets searching and following is mine schedule of day
8:00 AM - Get up from Bed and get ready for office
9:00 AM - 6:00 PM office timings
6:00 PM - 9:00 PM come back from office after dinner take rest a while
9:00 PM - 12:00 AM Side project work
Out of my hectic routine i only manage 3 hours + full Saturday & Sunday.
For you my suggestion would be to move to Ruby on Rails framework because it will save your time spent on auth/login/registration (donkey work) it only take take 5 minute on rails to configure Devise gem if you cannot move to Ruby on Rails move to Laravel ( php framework similar to rails) + you really need to stay motivated during 0 implementation till you get your production DONE
Best of luck
