I’ve been stuck in this mindset where I can’t think of any good website ideas, or game ideas, or anything really. I want to get out of this mindset by thinking, “What should I make?”, or “What do I need to make?”.
I still follow peoples advice on “go take a walk and think about it for a bit” and “you’ll get one soon” and things like that. Those don’t seem to work.
All I need is advice on how I can make myself come up with ideas for projects that would let me do something with my free time. Any help would be appreciated!
That’s a common mindset to have but honestly I think one of the most harmful. Don’t try to think of stuff to build. A plumber doesn’t think “oh what plumbing can I build today?” A home builder doesn’t think “what house can I build today?” They wait for a need to arise in an area and they then think “I can solve that”. Trying to make up problems just never works. Wait for something to happen and an idea will come to you.
