I replaced "passive" TV watching. I now mostly watch TV/movies if I'm really focused on it. I no longer just turn the TV on because it's there. This has led me to seek out other things when bored. Reading, taking random classes around town(archery, weaving, bicycle building), and listening to music/podcasts while cleaning up around the apartment. It mainly comes down to: I no longer have a default activity to when bored, so I fill the time with other, more engaging/deliberate, tasks.
