Right now I'm working on a suite of tools for calendar/schedule/to-dos, money expense tracker, etc. All for myself because the available tools are either too bloated, or don't have the features I need, or cost too much.

So look at all the tools and apps you use and think of the moments you thought "It sure would be cool if it could do this instead of this or if this looked different" and build your own. I feel like this method is especially good for someone just starting out because you can take inspiration from other software and don't have to build everything from the ground up.

Or maybe browse GitHub and see if there are some open source projects you could contribute to. :) If you see something you like, look if there are open issues and try to fix them.
