Working on a side project to scratch your own itch feels very emotionally different than working for someone else.

And in the same way washing clothes or making dinner doesn't feel stressful in the way working for someone else does.

That is not universally true. I would much rather work (at my employer) than do household stuff. I like to cook but I still by the pre-planned bags with recipes since I don't like the planning part. But I pay someone else to clean my home since i rather work.
