If I'm thinking about a work problem, I count it towards my 40 hrs/wk of allocated work time.

If I'm thinking about a hobby problem, then I don't sweat over it, unless of course it's eating into some other aspect of my life (friends, outdoor activities, etc).

Billing for thinking - in my experience this is how some of the best people work. But you have to be careful in management conversations around it. :)
