If you are already bored with mixing then walk away for a while and invest your time listening to music.
BOAT LOADS OF BLOODY MUSIC! Go on Beatport, Juno, wherever you like, pick a genre and just go through track after track after track. This is not about doing work or finding great tunes as much as its about figuring out what your ear really likes. You can't expect your brain to get excited at the prospect of mixing tracks that your ears wouldn't proposition on a Saturday night if their lives depended on it. Some nights I'll construct a few social beverages and listen to 1000+ tracks. I might only listen to a few seconds of a lot of them but there will be other tracks I listen to all the way through and a few I'll actually buy.
Got a smart phone? If so, go out into the world and capture sound. I left the house at 7am for work this morning and heard the birds chirping like it was their job while the train was coming down the tracks a few miles away. I got my phone out and recorded it. Who knows what I will do with it but it will get used. You wont be able to beat grid it because it's bloody nature but you might be able to play around with some affects and create some really cools layers of sound. For the record, I have recordings of people arguing in supermarkets, Pro gun radio DJs talking about shooting people, footsteps of my son running through the park, myself ranting at the country music on the radio and a bunch of other random silliness.
Got some mates? Start playing with them! If they have kit - get them to bring it round and start making some noise. If they don't - get them around all the same, teach the basics and do some back to back stuff. Another person will spawn much more creativity than another controller.
Got a family birthday coming up? Go find out all the horrible tunes they like, get a hold of them and find a way to create something cool from it. They get a unique gift and you get 9000 awesome points.
There's all kinds of stuff you can do - you just need to do it.
Good luck
