I'd say I have a lot more work thoughts invading my personal life than vice versa. When I'm at work I'm expected to pump things out and the cognative load leaves very little room for thoughts to creep in.
On the other hand when I'm relaxed and enjoying free thought, I sometimes can't help but use some of that freetime to think through work problems to reduce work stress. I suppose if my personal time was spent with high cognative load as well, it would be a fair trade off, but after working at high cognative function 40+ hours a week, my personal time tries to be as mentally relaxing as possible.
