> I enjoy getting my work done, so then I can work on my other projects or look for new jobs. When my required work is done, then I don't feel bad about doing other things...

Do you work remote, or does your employer allow to go earlier/work on your own stuff in your office?

I work remote 2 days a week. Then 3 days in cube jail.

I just bang out my regular work, then I can do what I want (kinda). Nobody is really looking over my shoulder and as long as I meet my deadlines things seem to be fine. (Until they are not.)

Also I have learned some basic time management skills. I just get the job done so I can move on to my side projects. The incentive for me is do my personal stuff. I don't have a career at my current job.

"Cube jail" is precisely how I feel about my cubicle. I would prefer an office jail, but I'm not a sales guy.

You have a cubicle rather than fully open plan? Lucky...
