You don't! And I'm hoping to at least work on it while being employed full-time. But when you add up taking care of the house, the family, the pets, doing the job, having a social life, etc it becomes difficult.

I suppose I'm saying that while I like your vision and push for motivation, it should be clear to people that creating anything as serious as a book takes sacrifice. One of the reasons I struggled so long to get started writing is that I was trying to have it all, I didn't understand that if I actually wanted to be a writer I would have to give up other parts of my life.

Yup it’s hard. This is why I don’t have pets and we don’t plan to own a home. It would be too costly for our life.
