yeah.. you are already spending more than half of your awake time(assuming 8h sleep, ad 8h + commute work day) not on yourself.

You also need to do chores which cut into your 'me time' even more. then there are social obligations etc.

Plus your total 'me' time is usually fragmented - due to aforementioned things - so you still cannot do things that take longer time to do, and sadly making things(dosen't matter if it is a startup, software, painting miniatures or even a woodworking project) require concentration(which is already drained at work), and decent time-windows(which happen rarely, because your time is fragmented).

counting that you have 8h per day, every day, available to you for pursuing improvement is naive. Especially that people do need to rest - even to keep your performance at acceptable levels at work.
