"It's pretty naïve to think that the things you enjoy in your free time are the things you enjoy doing for paid work and vise versa. I absolutely hate cleaning around my house, I hate everything about it, but I don't mind cleaning for paid work at all."
I fully agree. There are lots of things I'll do for paid work that I don't really want to do at home - and I'll do the stuff happily. It makes money, and the time at work passes along. When it is somewhat easy as well, it gives me lots of time to think - and that is a serious bonus. It also makes it really easy to disconnect from work.
Alternatively, it makes it easier to define myself by what I choose to do with my time. The most interesting things about myself aren't tied to my job at all and I rather like that - and at this point, a seemingly interesting job is just a bonus.
