If you don't have problems to solve, then build and ship stuff. You will soon find problems to solve!

This is the best answer. Just create momentum. Build something in 60min. Launch it. And start to identify the problems along the way. In thise problems is most likely an opportunity bigger than the initial problem.
yes but what stuff to build and ship?
Whatever interests you. the thing doesn't need to be commercial - what you learn by shipping might give you insights into problems to solve.

Of course the downside is you might be finding problems that only hobbyists have that wont make money. But you can do further validation to see if anyone will pay and if those problems extend to companies or solo professionals who will pay.
