Hi all - this might be more of a question for the hobbyists.

How do you get inspired to start a new project? I love making things, it's what I return to again and again (in whatever form) to feel like I'm extending my creative side. But I have to confess that the day job, the nitty gritty of daily life once I get home from work in terms of seeing to the children and now the darker nights means that all of my good intentions to get started on some silverwork just fade away. And as I don't have a dedicated workspace (I usually set up in the kitchen after clearing away a space) it's harder to get started on something once tea is cooked, homework is advised on and packed lunches are prepared for the next day.

How do you all keep pushing yourselves forward? How do you ensure that you don't just fall into a Pinterest/YouTube hole and actually get stuff done?
