How do you come up with projects?

I like programming very much but can't seem to find projects to build so instead I just end up doing competitive programming problems. I want to get my hands on something practical, how do you come up with projects to build?

I found @highasthedn 's advice very helpful.
Find something to make that is really helpful for you in your everyday life.

I really hope you will find some inspiration of all shared ideas so far.

Here is an article about how I come up with project ideas. I don't know if you are searching for frontend projects in particular but I think it will work anyways :)

I started with a todo app that i want to use for my own, because i canβ€˜t find pne that i like. To stay motivated and focuser i think its a good idea, to start with a project that you really want for your self.

Sometimes in my everyday life I just go
"You know what? This is really annoying! I wish there was a tool to fix this"
And then proceed to make said tool. Even if there's a mature solution out there already. That's kind of my weakness :(
