Crispy_Frog, it sounds to me like a big part of the problem is that you're really tired after work, which is understandable. And the other big thing is probably the disorder in the sewing room, so I would start with that. I know this varies a lot for people, but I can't function in a disordered environment. Let your sewing dreams fuel the organization of your space; maybe make a list of clean-up tasks, and do your best to check one off every day. Once your space is ordered, make a list of UFOs and planned projects, and get rid of the ones you're no longer enthused about.
