I think the best way to go about this is to think about what you do. No matter what it is, consider if maybe there's a better or easier way to do it. I've come up with a lot of great small projects to solve personal nuisances over the years. I've only implemented a fraction of them, for two reasons: Way more ideas than I know what to do with and ideas can easily snowball into a much larger project that becomes difficult to set aside time for. It also helps to look at projects that already sort of address your issue but you think could be solved in a different way that you think suits your needs better. I've also written some small command line programs that fill some unfulfilled need yet aren't meant to be a complete solution, more of an additional pipeline for other useful CLI programs I use like z. No idea about monetization though.
