Is the problem you're trying to solve not something you experience on your own? I've found being motivated to do something that other people might find useful doesn't come close to doing something that you will find usefulβ€”β€”and others (optionally) when you open-source your solution.

I am still waiting for that "omg I need this" idea to come forward and really stick :P

Exactly this! It doesn't need to be anything complex, you could maybe think about something trivial you regularly do to automate and grow from there?

Building things that ease up my works is as heavenly as stuffs other people find useful.

I have been working on a project that was born out of a need me and my girlfriend had. But after working on it for a few months it died out. I have thought about catching up on it again :)
