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!

    I live my life and i come across something that is painful because it takes time, or is complicated/tedious, etc, and i think to myself “is there anything i can do to make this better?”

    Look for problems you have and try to solve them. Also as you learn more about programming you add tools to your toolbox. Having those tools helps you think about new problems you could solve. You might still have to look up the documentation on how to use that tool, but you can at least start to recognize that it could be used to solve a problem you’re having
