[jacobriers]

I am a software engineer that works full time (and have a family:), and have just handed in my masters thesis. What made it easier for me was picking a problem I was already very familiar with (and passionate about) to do my thesis on. After that it was just putting in consistent hours in the evening after everyone went to sleep.

Working in the evening certainly helps. For the most part I have been doing the same thing. By 9pm both wife and kids are in bed so I can easily get a couple of hours of work in.
