Try challenges to temperarily prevent boredom like:

1. Kill a chicken without sneaking in broad daylight and without getting caught.

2. Level up the Alchemy skill to 100 without skill trainers doing it for you.

3. Search for random encounters. This helps me with boredom as it gives me a little kick if it's combat orientated.

4. Unlock achievments. Everyone has that one achievment they haven't done yet.

5. Go on a killing rampage. Save before you do if you don't want to miss quests.

There you have it. My personal recommendation.
