I have had some success with letting myself be bored. In similar situations, taking that time to lay down on the floor in a random room in the house and look at the ceiling and admit I’m bored. Some idea or fun thing invariably occurs to me eventually.

Random things that could fill this if you’re looking for more hands-on type of things is wood or metal work, designing and building something physical. Bicycle, roller blade and focusing on improving some aspect of it, or walking around outside intentionally observing your surroundings and seeing what you can learn from them. Music, very good keyboards/digital pianos can be had with headphones. Language (verbal/written) learning. Hope this helps!
