Personally, I’ve found that if I get super interested in a programming project at home that I’ll get too distracted and unfocused at work, which feels pretty miserable. For that reason, I’ve mostly given up on programming at home in favor of reading and other hobbies. I do think this is a good approach at work though. There’s always something I can investigate that I’m interested in at work that I can find enjoyment from. Even if it isn’t exactly what I’m ideally supposed to be working on, I’m able to help people and provide valuable insights that are beneficial for my team and company. This is a much more satisfying situation than either spinning my wheels because I’m not interested in what I’m working on am too distracted by projects at home.
