Easy ways to have fun?

I've played this game a decent amount but everytime I get super bored, I want to play it but just can't.

"Fun" is very subjective and dependent on your playstyle. Some people like to speedrun the game to perfection, others finish the community center in year 3 or later, because they're focused exploration or decorating their farm. There are even people who go for ironman runs or other wild challenges using mods.

So, if you get bored easily, why not decide on some personal goals that excite you and work towards those? While SDV is a cozy game at its core, nobody forces you to stick to that playstyle

I love this game. Ive modded the snuff out of it and now 400hrs later across multiple systems, i cant play it normally anymore. I keep looking for other farming games and nothing scratches the itch like stardew did. However i do still play, using Archipelago to randomize the game has breathed life into it for me, it has completely turned the game on its head tho, everything is a goal to progress across other games, its systematic now there's fun but there's no Relaxing farming sim anymore just a set of problems to unlock progress.

Give it a shot it might inspire a new way for you to play, or convince you that the original way to play is better.

If you're not having fun, go do something that is fun. You may get bored with this game and want to do something. Come back to this game later when you are interested in playing it for a while. If you start treating a game like a chore or a job that you have to do, you have to log on, you're doing it wrong.

Without much context, there is nothing much to be said. Most newplayers I have seen just mass planting and think that's all the game has to offer. Although Fishing and Mining are fun, in 1.6 there are many details to make early game management much more interesting. Even in slow pace, the Prize Ticket machine do make it shine.

Also, Sprinkler and Keg spam could be very boring. Beach Farm is designed to break that barrier.

mods that add new content/maps and remixed bundles can be a lot of fun, also there are always challenge runs and you could try playing with a different profit margin

but your first question should always be, what exactly is fun to you? what do you like the most?

I prefer early game/first year so I start over whenever it turns into some kind of routine or just to try something new like when I went full on coop and barn without crops just to see what it was like (pigs are annoying in their needed setup) or my awkward flower run that was really awesome until I chose to get honey bees, they're just broken and took all my fun away... might actually try that one again...
