I came across a book of ideas for enjoying travel in a more experimental way.
One of my favourite suggestions is to just follow the street signs until you can go no further. An Oxford academic tried this and found himself in a place he never even knew existed, off the beaten track and out of the town of the gown of university spires.
I think the same type of game might be adopted for getting out of bed - go left, left left - and i would just stay in the same spot - up against the wall and going nowhere fast.
Aside from that i would like to travel a lot slower - get on a train, a ship, a pigeon...

I've a mate who tried on several occasions to "go to India" based on dice rolls... cue long stories about being repatriated from Istanbul. In my view it's worth at least looking like you know where you're going... even if you in actual fact don't.
