I enjoy doing home-lab project work at home because I have to plan things out and concentrate on a single problem for a contiguous string of time, and at the end I feel a sense of achievement in reaching, or getting closer to, the goal.

At work I spend maybe five minutes on something before being asked a question about something else, and it doesn't feel as if I really achieve much at all.

I don't get paid for the first one and do get paid for the second one, but I think for the quality of work (as a direct result of the continuity of attention) it should be the other way round.
