I use categories like you, and a combination of Trello for the list and OneNote (could use any note app) for details. I have a 2y.o. and one on the way and manage to find at least 2 hrs a week for a side project, sometimes up to about 8hrs. Yes it’s slow going but I feel better for making some progress.
