I usually just pick a very small problem that I have and start building around that. For example, right now I spent too much time reading HN/Reddit and not enough time studying for an exam coming up, so I'm thinking about making a chrome extension that prompts me to answer a random question from a bank every few minutes otherwise it'll lock me out of whatever I'm reading.

Picking a simple stack (e.g Browser Extensions are underrated imo) also helps with building something small and quick.

Someone who I get a lot of inspiration from is https://tinyprojects.dev/. I've been reading his blog for quite a while and it's definitely kicked my brain into gear with small projects.
