No interference from the social media or news site, use the time you have only working on the project with a iron focus, make a working plan etc and you will notice you'll get shit done pretty fast even though you have a limited time each day.
You're main goal should be to add something each day to the project, and try avoiding not adding anything at all, it could me something small on the days your stuck, but as long as you keep moving forward it is possible.
I've managed to build a small business im running on the side next to having a full time job, i managed by adding bricks to it everyday till it was ready, then i initiated the project and its so well planned it only puts me to work one or two days a week and i can include my wife, there are eventually tasks she can handle and help out with.
Programming wise and learning wise i've also grown wiser and know where to have my focus to be able to get better, faster and learn new technologies with my own mental algorithm. Though this most likely has nothing todo with being over 30, but maybe more with the time and experience gained over time. But as you get into the 30s, some people get kids and buy a house and what not. But that will also in time teach you how to manage the time you have available, and you will try to work more efficient and narrow your focus onto your goals and tasks in your everyday programming job or what you're doing, you learn to filter away all the noise and stay focused on the task at hand.
And i also think its cultural thing though, they most likely have a huge community with people who has a flare for designing things that goes into the Apple-ecosystem, OS X is pretty nice to look at, and therefor people need to up their design principles to make their applications fit the OS, but don't get me wrong, there are a lot of ugly apps fro OS X as well, they just don't get the same promotion as the good looking apps. :D
Apple is a lot about design, also when it comes to development.
Only my personal thoughts and what i believe might be the reason.
