Last year, I spent a non-trivial number of hours working on costumes for Halloween and other events. I learned how to make soap from scratch. I wrote a novella (~45K words). I taught myself piano (very poorly). Basically, I just want to stay busy and learn a lot.
My personal philosophy is that work stays at work. I get paid for my 40-ish hours -- not my Saturdays and Sundays. Don't get me wrong: I don't mind working a bit late during the week, and I'm always the first one into the office. It's a good job, and I like it a lot, but I think part of why I haven't burnt out is that I have a clear separation between my work and personal life. If there's a weekend emergency, I'll respond. In my experience -- and I believe this is true for weekdays as well -- there's nothing that can't wait until tomorrow (or Monday, as the case may be on the weekends.)
Sunday is fun day. Saturday, too, for that matter.
Today I have a family and work at home and I usually work less on the weekends, but I often try to get a 2 or 3 hour session on each day, usually coding, almost never biz dev.
As for what I do for fun, I go for walks, play video games, watch a movie, go see family in the next town over, etc.
Since most of my time is spent slouching over my laptop I use Sundays to escape to the outdoors. Having a dog is a great excuse to explore the wild and the fresh air clears my mind.
If it rains, I still try to avoid TV/Laptop in favour of getting creative in the kitchen or having a few beers and banter with friends.
Good weather > outside doing something (could be anything: photography, hiking, biking, etc)
Bad weather > sitting inside binge watching a TV show or playing video games
