Cooking, maybe not even meals but also whipping up fun snacks, the more bored you are the more complex of a thing you can make. It's fun, it's tasty, you learn things. Also making fun drinks.
Walking, duh. Walking around is great thing to do when you're bored. You get to explore the area you live in. Walk into some places you haven't gone to yet. Take a little notebook and draw things. The options are endless for directions to walk and things to do on your walk.
Sewing, takes more time than you might imagine. Embroidery is especially fun because then you have a little patch or a decoration you can add to something. But also hemming things that don't fit you right, adding patches to your clothes. Doing a cross stich. Or crocheting or knitting if that's your kind of thing.

and this may seem like a trick quetion because so many recipes are online, but it's always fun to go through an analog cookbook (or record your own recipes / recipes you like that are online / recipes from ai, etc in a physical book -- journaling is another fav activity). baking is fun because it takes up so much time!
I also like to make my bathroom feel like a spa. So think all the products and take a nice long "spa bath" which includes a soak, face mask, hair gloss/mask, manicure/pedicure, massage & dry brush, etc... whatever products I'd want to do at a spa. It's nice to have it all at home to your own ambiance and music!
and ig the other answer is cleaning. i always hate to get started but once i get started, it's so hard to stop and strangely fun? I also like to organize & curate my closet idk lol

-baking & cake decorating is probably my main one(I also do it to an extent for work too)
-sewing; all my clothes are either made, upcycled, or tailored by me
-painting though I’m not the best at it but it’s relaxing
-needlefelting it’s really accessible and relaxing. I take it with me to cafes and such for something to do with my hands and it’s a good conversation starter. I like to give random people free keychains and trinkets I make
-music; I love to write songs and I play guitar and banjo, also taking voice lessons at the moment
-”photography” I like to take Polaroids of my friends and things and decorate them with stickers and doodles
-vintage doll and toy collecting I have too many things
-cosmetics; love makeup too much and doing people’s hair
-fashion; between making stuff, studying old runway shows, and learning whatever history I can

It's so lawless. You’ll see the weirdest things and no one will care. People are so unabashedly human here. Dead expressions, exhaustion, boredom. You’ll get a coffee, someone else will get a bloody mary, the time is irrelevant. Your priorities will be tested, everything costs at least three times as much as it should, it won’t matter. I love liminal spaces.
