It's a bit of a pain configuring each custom > command with this, but it works fine. Another option is to use "< buffer, subtree/region restriction" option while creating agenda using "C-c a". Please also see section 10.1 of Org manual http://orgmode.org/manual/Agenda-files.html#Agenda-files Briefly, if you hit "<" after "C-c a", then the agenda will be restricted to displaying only the items from current buffer. If you press "<" twice, then the agenda view will be limited to only the current subtree. Sec. 10.1 talks about setting and removing permanent restriction on agenda. This way you can focus on only the work items at work, home items at home (it does seem you have split at least work items in a separate file) and even on a specific area/project (subtree really) if you so wish.
