I've added some element of novelty to that list -- travel to new places, try different things... if I find myself stuck staring at a metaphorical wall for 24 hours a day, I'd opt out in a hurry...

I'm with you on the trying new things/traveling thing.... but offing yourself due to boredom I don't get. I mean, what else ya got going on? It is what it is, it is what you make it, opting out makes no sense to me.
