I have the energy now to work a second job, which I really love. I cook quite a bit and do some volunteering. Early on I really examined and rethought my feelings on boredom. I ultimately concluded that I wasn't so much bored as I was unaccustomed to feeling calm and at peace. When I really worked on those feelings, I developed the really pleasurable ability to sit and enjoy an hour or two of quiet time during which I don't necessarily do anything productive. I just enjoy the quiet. That is something to do!!!
