I have the same problem sometimes, I work also and a hour drive, when I get home it's like, "don't talk to me". I try to work on a quilt (easy quilt) for about an hour. sometimes it 10 minutes, sometimes after I get started it turns in to 2 hours. What is hard to do is to start a new and challanging quilt when you are tired. Go at your own pace and do only what you want.
