I’m unfortunately currently in a situation where I don’t have a lot of options for activities and find myself somewhat bored… What do you do when you’re bored?
I haven’t been bored in 21 years
Depends on the type of bored. It could be smarting from tackling a project to playing a game to watching something stupid on tv.

I’m rewatching - again - The Wire. Never ceases to amaze me, every time I find something I had missed in the previous runs. And there’s plenty of it to last for a while!

There is always self improvement. Read, exercise, meditate. So much philosophy is public domain, if you have internet access and a device to read ebooks on then you can read most of the famous texts. https://www.gutenberg.org/ is great. If you have access to a local library then use that as well. You can access almost anything with a library card.
Libraries even have video games including consoles nowadays, in some places. Can’t go wrong with a library card.
If your home gets too cold for extended office work in winter without massively increasing your energy bill you can also use their premises just fine as long as you stick to their rules.
Sometimes I just get out and walk. I find that is an activity that helps “reset” my mind and gets my creative thoughts flowing. Also I think I’m a late ADHD bloomer, I have more interests now than I have time for in a single day. So I’m not usually bored, but often overwhelmed with choices about what to do.
Getting out from the house and getting some fresh air really helps me sort things out when I’m like that.
