Leader of the Jedi Council, Yoda was. For centuries, a Jedi.
To Dagobah he went. For twenty years, lived there did he. Bored, he might be.
Do what, did he?

You have done well, but to succeed, your life must be spent learning, practicing.
...
Now you see. We have achieved what you seek and live between the realms.(Destiny: Clone wars, Season 6, episode 12)
Now, does my training begin?
The one you know as Qui-Gon Jinn will commune with you and guide your training.
(Sacrifice: Clone wars, Season 6, episode 13)
Explain, the Priestesses did. Complete his trials Yoda did. Meditation, learning, practice -- spend time with these he must.
On Dagobah -- commune with the Force he did. Alive with the force Dagobah was. For communing and hiding, perfect. Idle he was not -- preparing he was. Something the Priestesses told him...
Like us, you shall learn to maintain your consciousness after death.
Enlightenment, sprit, balance...
There is another Skywalker...

@enderland ... but, it is.
As of April 25, 2014, the only previously published materials that are considered canon are the six Star Wars films and the Star Wars: The Clone Wars television series- from starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Canon– user12183Commented Nov 2, 2015 at 20:16 -
Based on scenes from the Rebels cartoon, it's possible he was also communing with other Jedi across the galaxy and giving them Force visions.– HamHamJCommented Nov 4, 2016 at 20:53
Aside from the needs of survival, spent his time studying the Force he did.
From Wookieepedia:
Using an E3-standard starship lifeboat, Yoda returned to Dagobah to begin his own exile. The lifeboat started to serve as Yoda's initial shelter, however, started to degrade within a year due to Dagobah's swampy environment. As the first shelter was slowly consumed by the swamp, Yoda built a new home for himself. He thus settled down to wait for the twins to grow up, and continued his studies of the Force.
To be fair, quite a lot of time it must have taken just to live in some degree of comfort. Building a home for himself no mean feat is, and finding food a non-negligible amount of time too must have consumed. But, in his spare time, with his studies keep up he did, keeping his mind active and his Force knowledge well-honed.

8@Moogle - Rand hasn't seen Star Wars, so we made him ride a donkey backwards into the desert with a bucket on his head. Commented Oct 29, 2015 at 17:15

13So basically... "Built a castle in the swamp, I did. Sank into the swamp, it did. So, build a second one, I did. Sank into the swamp, also that one did. Build a third one, I did. Burned down, fell over, then sank into the swamp, it did. But the fourth one? Stayed up, that one did!" Commented Oct 30, 2015 at 18:52
