The belief is that God is not bound by the dimensions of time and space, so it doesn't work the same way where He would just be sitting there bored, doing nothing for years and years. Personally I think there is/was much more out there than this universe. I definitely think there was more before the big bang.
Sure, you can postulate that. God looking upon our timeline all at once kind of as we do on space, but infinitely far in all directions. Then, God could for example have its own time in which it operates and does stuff. Better yet, if the laws of our universe turn out to be deterministic, a timeline is not even necessary, as a snapshot of the state of our universe at one time contains all there is to know about our universe and its past and future.
