If I want to code something for myself, I just do it. I don't worry about whether it "feels like work" or it's "hobby coding" or whatever. It's a goal-oriented process, and I enjoy it, mostly.
My other hobbies are all basically the same, even if they aren't productive at all. There are parts I enjoy, and, parts I don't. I try not to worry about it too much, and just enjoy the parts I can, and work through the parts I don't to get to more of the good stuff.
I think it's really hard to separate "hobby coding" and "work coding" because they're both coding and I enjoy both. There's more stress for work coding because I'm being told I have to do things I don't agree with, or under a time crunch, but they're still both enjoyable. I don't think sitting at a different desk or location would change that.
