I can tell the weekend apart from the rest of the week by what I don't do on the weekends: any investment/trading work. The early part of my weekdays are spent doing stock and option trading, as well as working on my retirement investment portfolio.This I see as my 'job'.
If I were rational, so, too, would housekeeping and exercise. But I don't enjoy those, so I don't do them - they aren't so much a job as work.
I enjoy working with numbers, and always have. My degree is in Mathematics (BS Math, summa cum laude, mothafuckas). I do for pleasure what other people regard the same way as I do housework (repugnance): Make spreadsheets. And my work with investments is all spreadsheet stuff. I spend more time on the record-keeping of the transactions than on actually buying/selling stocks and options.
I disguise this other-ness by also liking sudoku a lot. I think everybody, even if they don't know their multiplication tables, likes sudoku. Or should.
It does me no harm, and it is practical. I have been surprisingly successful, far surpassing my goals for retirement portfolio growth (by about 35%) and managing a real-life income stream as well. OK, stream connotes something steady and regular, not the spurts I get, but you get the idea. My goal here was $50-100 a week, and I've done far better than that.
The sad part is I have made it so easy. I do it (like these blog posts) flat on my back in bed, my computer on an over-bed hospital tray cart.
I spend too much time on my computer, and too much time in bed. I'm so grateful for that!
