Purposely or purposely means intentionally or deliberately; on purpose--
I'm sure he did that purposely; he always hated that clock.
He ran out of gas purposely, so we wouldn't have to go to the party.
Purposefully or purposefully means with a goal in mind; determined or resolute--
He moves things about as if purposefully, but then he moves them back again.
He goes about his work purposefully, and seems immune to distractions.
Now that you know that, you can say--
"I popped into the room purposely, but he remained purposefully at his task."
