Free time on weekends. What to do?

Anyone has any recommendations on what to do during the weekends, preferably something work-related to gain some addtionals skills and extra money? I'm working in a law firm, but in the weekends I have so much free time that I don't even know how to fill those 2 extra days (I already go to the gym, cook, clean, etc., but I still feel that I have too much free time and energy to just "chill"). 

By additional skills, I mean preferably something finance-related. I'm currently in law and I want to find some path to finance. I would be interested to learn maybe a bit more about real estate, but I'm not sure if there would be any jobs on this field only for the weekends. 

Any recommendations?

What's that, and how come?

All the big games are on Sunday. I play on ACR. It's usually a very good or very bloody day.

Build those relationships that fell to the wayside - you’ll be glad you did in the years to come. 

 

There is no weekend side hustle that will make you more money than chilling out for a day or two so you can attack your actual job with full energy on Monday.

But that's the idea, I want to do something different to law in the near future. So, at least, I could use the weekends to do something to increase the chance of making this career change, hopefully in finance.

I'm extremely driven, and I'm not sure on how to direct it properly to leave law in the near future - so I wanted to get some ideas from some people around here. Not sure why it's a troll post in your opinion.
