Serious question, how do you fit in woodworking with a full-time job?

My job keeps me busy all week, and I miss working with my hands. Any suggestions for quick projects or carving out time on weekends?

Honestly, my garage is basically a museum of half-finished projects because of that same struggle. You start a simple cutting board on a Saturday, then life happens, and suddenly it's three weeks later and you're staring at a glued-up slab with a fine layer of dust (and maybe one forgotten coffee cup stain). The key for me has been embracing the tiny, one-sitting things, like sanding down a single spoon or just cutting joinery practice pieces. It's not glamorous, but at least you get to make some sawdust without the guilt of another abandoned picture frame staring at you from the corner.

Woodworking with a full-time job is a recipe for burnout. You'll spend your precious weekends covered in sawdust instead of actually relaxing. Save yourself the hassle and find a quicker hobby.
