There are many things I want to do in my free time. These can be anything from programming projects, exploring new hobbies, or just reading a book....

Ideally I would say is that if you have limited time, try getting outside your 'shell' and try new things that you usually wouldn't do at work.
You might discover you like other technologies, or find out some development ideas that you can implement in your daily work.
Awesome. So much of my getting over some humps in this regard have been about becoming deliberate about my time and commitment to projects, as opposed to being scattered.
I wrote about some of my own learnings here:
Ben’s Five Keys to Creating a Successful Side Project

Thank you so much sharing! I look forward to read it tonight :)
Pick the one that you find personally rewarding and recharges you. If it feels like work you'll burn out quickly.
Absolutely! I've been trying to explore technologies that are completely irrelevant to work since I need a mental break from work related stuff.
...use a project from work. I rarely get to do any of the more interesting projects at work. So I bring a user story home and do the project on my own time. In that way, I'm always solving real-world problems. It has also taught me how to use mock libraries for to get data from systems (SAP, for example) that I don't have at home.
That's brilliant idea actually. Thank you for sharing. It's absolutely more rewarding working on real world problems.
This is really amazing work out, I personally fall a victim of these problems too 😀 probably I will adopt your action plans to achieve great results
I think this really speaks true to everyone who tries to do side projects in their spare time.
