According to the bible, There will be 2 different times of "Heaven" One before the White Throne Judgement, and one, the eternal one, after. We do not know anything of the time after the Judgement, but we know there will be no evil, no sins, no sickness, no death. We have to trust God in what we dont know.
When He placed Adam in the garden, He gave him a couple of jobs; (tend to the garden, name the animals) So, He didnt have him just sitting around being bored. As a matter of fact, nowhere in the bible does it speak of a man retiring, not to say its wrong, just that all the people, including Moses at age 100+, had something to do, to keep them occupied.
The time before the Judgement, we know that those in Heaven will be the goverment of Jesus as He sits on the throne, ruling the earth for 1,000 years. I am quite confident that there will be much to be done for all eternity, look at what we do and do not know now, the planets we have not explored, the parts of atoms that we have not beaten. Any scientist will tell you that there is much more that we dont know then what we do. For example, whats to say that in Heaven, over centuries, we wont have spaceships to visit other worlds, see other creations, other animals. If God can make so much varity as there is on Earth now, I am sure that He can keep us occupied for all time.
Rather than think of what you dont know of Heaven, why not think of how grand it will be with what we do know? No more being ripped off, no more being hurt by others, no more death or old age disablities? Imagine having decades of decades to know your favorite person, or to do your favorite hobby. Imagine how great a writer, artist, singer, or ? you could be, what you could create, if you never grew tired, never got old, never got sick? and, if you got bored with it, start with something else. Anybody who wants the bible verses for what I stated, let me know, would be happy to provide them, didnt fore easier reading. :)
Do you think Heaven might actually be a miserable place?
