1. Take a break. There's always something else to play.
2. Do a character type you haven't done before. If your normally melee, try magic, or stealth centered characters. If your normally a goody two shoes, try being the polar opposite instead.
3. Don't be singuarlly focused on finishing a quest. It's easy to get on the "Must finish this quest" train, finish the quest, and then start working on the next one. Instead, allow yourself to wander. If going from Point A to point B, and you find something in between - explore it. You don't have to finish the quest right away.
4. Avoid the use of fast travel if possible. Granted it sounds like RPG purist BS, but I find it really makes a difference. You'll explore and wander more, which helps with not being singuarly focused.
5. Ditch the horse. They're expensive to replace, they get in the way, take too long to dismount to fight stuff as your exploring, and tend to be Mob magnets.
6. Make your own mission by finding an object of disgust or hatred and pursue its destruction. Personally, i find i hate Thalmore and Vampirees. So I actively seek them out.
7. Mods. If your on a console, your just SOL on this one.
