i did all my work himself

This phrase is incorrect. 'Himself' is a reflexive pronoun used for the third person singular, not the first person singular.

The correct reflexive pronoun to use in this context is 'myself' to indicate that the speaker performed the action independently.

i did all my work myself

This phrase is correct and commonly used in English. 'Myself' is a reflexive pronoun used for the first person singular to emphasize that the speaker performed the action independently.
