moonlighting makes it easy and hard at the same time. I can only work when I'm not working at my day job. I must work when I'm not working on my day job.
I started doing that "don't break the chain" thing. I would say I can spend around 18 hours a week on the project.
I am in a similar situation. Moonlighting too, but that should end shortly as I leave my current company for working on the startup full-time. Surprisingly I am doing the 'don't break the chain' thing too. I seem to be getting about 20-30 hours on my project.
