Replace COBOL with PL/SQL and that's exactly my story. Here are a few things I could suggest:
- Start with a smaller project, something that you could finish over a weekend. Finishing that kind of a project will leave you with the confidence to continue with more demanding projects.
- If you're working on a larger project, split it into smaller chunks. Make a list of things that could take, say, half an hour, and complete them as and when you get the time.
- Don't depend on others for motivation - motivate yourself. If you don't know why you want ot work on your own hobby projects, nobody else would.
There are lots of people I know that struggle to find the time to work on side projects. Funnily enough, I see that people working in startups find it as hard as us corporate IT folks to find the time.
