This is something that has helped me a lot. Some of the best creative ideas and stuff I came up as a young person were due to my spending this time on self-learning and trying to do something or the other. Learnt never to get bored just being with myself.
And to this day whenever I am alone, either I put myself in a learning/exploring/thinking mode; or I work on doing something creative/practical. There's no passive mode.
I think the key to not getting bored alone and spend this 'me time' in some meaningful way is to actively engage oneself instead of passively passing the time.
