I've found I can handle an extra 10 hours of work a week without negatively impacting the rest of my life -- work, social, sleep, hobbies. I've gotten all my contract work from prior work relationships or referrals from friends.

This is really the key. Decide how many hours a week you're available and use that to estimate your delivery schedules. If you can work more than the estimate, great, but never commit to more than you know you can do. Life got a lot easier after I figured this out :-)
