I work full time, get up at 5am, have a 40 mile commute each way in bumper to bumper traffic, and sometimes don't get home until 9pm which does not leave much time during the week for my art.
When I have a commission going (which thankfully is getting to be pretty regularly), I work on it until the wee hours of the morning and all weekend long. I take coffee breaks and longer breaks for a few hours to go to the gym so I can lift weights and run a few miles to work out all the kinks. I don't know if I would call that stamina, or stupidity - but I am 43 and still feel like 23, so it must be working.
