I'd like to suggest one more. Go a little deeper and examine your Elements of Interest, those aspects of experiences that have given you greatest satisfaction. Then think how you can put these elements into your snowbound day. What did you do as a kid? (Great idea to "find your inner kid", as you said.) What else did you do as a kid? That desire is still in you, transformed maybe, but the elements of interest are still there. And to beat boredom now, make a plan for putting these elements into your life, beginning with today. See ThePowerOfBoredom.com for more on elements of interest. All these ideas are great for beating cabin fever. I’d like to suggest one more.
