At work. It's a bit of a open secret that you're not expected to fill 100% of your work time with work.

I was scolded quite a bit for not padding estimates early on. I argued that I'd be wasting time if I didn't pad. But the damage from a missed estimate is much worse, and if I had extra time I was expected to read a book, watch a movie, play Dota or something.

As it is, the weekly sprint plan is what you can get done by Wednesday. Silently add one non-scheduled item to cater for Parkinson's Law. If you're done for the week, then feel free to read books or refactor or something.
