No it's not just what you're paid for, I've already clarified this for two other commenters.

Grab a dictionary and you'll see something along "activity involving mental or physical effort done in order to achieve a purpose or result".

Unless your side projects have no purpose or goals, they are a form of work and they require effort.

How is it different from playing music, reading books or DIY hobbies? I don't get it.
