Wow it sounds like I wrote this. I too work full time and a one hour drive. I am exhausted when I get home. So hard for me to get motivated to sew. But I found for me sewing releases stress. So I organize and get my projects together in the evening little by little so by the weekend I try to get up before anyone is out of bed and I head to my sewing space and sew until everyone is up. then do my errands and back in the sewing area. So just pick at it little by little . I don't care if it takes a long time to finish a project . It just very stress releasing for me.
