I understand the struggle actually, I've felt that way on many occasions. Though not for the same reasons, I actually enjoy doing best practices and such on my own for fun, It's on the job where I sometimes can't... For me it's the monotony of doing the same stuff over and over that makes me not enjoy it at times. The monotony of working on the same boring project for 4 years, doing the same things, with the same tools and practices, etc... luckily I do side projects and experiment with stuff, so that helps me a bit.
Otherwise, I consider "coding at work", my job. And "coding for myself" as fun and enjoyment
