I never have ideas for really worthwhile projects either. It's only happened a handful of times but they've always been just short scripts that I did in a weekend and posted online for people to use. I'd have loved to find a library or software that I needed, but it's never happened that it didn't already exist. A couple of times in the past I tried to start something more ambitious anyway, but without any intrinsic motivation it just doesn't stick long term, because it doesn't feel like there's much point to it. I'd recommend to keep looking into things that you find interesting, just for fun. I've really enjoyed messing around with graphic shaders recently, which I have no use for. But the more tools on the bag the easier it is to find opportunities to do useful things. I still try to find useful things to do though, maybe one of those weekend projects can grow into a larger project, it would be really cool. But I don't see much point into trying to come up with something just for the sake of it. I'm reminded of that guy in Spain building a cathedral by himself. Not that there's anything wrong to building a cathedral by yourself if that's what you want, but pretty much the only reason to do it is that, because you feel like it.
