I actually enjoy my alone time, although being married now I get much less of it than I used to.
Aside from doing whatever mundane errands or extra work that might need to be done in off-time, when alone, I try to treat myself well.
I cook for myself if I can. I watch favorite TV shows or movies. I relax in the pool or hot tub. I read. I talk with friends or family on the phone. I play with my dog. I smoke a little herb. I masturbate. A lot. I sing, just for me, for fun. I meditate. I pray. I learn Torah. I write.
I think if one is truly comfortable with oneself, if one truly loves oneself, being alone is a blessing.
