Personal vs. Private?

Hello,
I have a todo list applicaton in which I put all my work-related todos in a folder named "work."

I was wondering what would be the opposite of "work" in my context? Would it be "personal" or "private"?
Which one of the two would fit better for things that are related to my own life (go shopping, wash the car, etc.. everything that is not work related).

Zoltán Király I was wondering what would be the opposite of "work" in my context? I suppose the standard partner of "at work" is "at home". "Personal" seems good to me, but "private" implies secrecy.

The most obvious pair is work and non-work
