Help: I haven't had an idea for a project in a long time. It might be because of the shitty job I have but I really can't find one even to bear my daily work. Advice on how to get them back?

One tip that would probably help you find new and interesting ideas: Try to read ask HN threads, shown HN threads (the new ones). Just the other day some guy posted about how he could get notified of remote tasks. I think that is a good problem to solve. You'll find many like these once you start reading comments.

Try learning something new. Learn to cook. You will get frustrated by some aspect of it. Then your laziness will spit out something like 'someone should make A so that people like me don't have to do X,Y and Z'

My example. I'm trying to save money and learn to cook, so I wanted a 3d plot of recipes on the axis of (Money/Calorie), (Time), and Rating. Then I could just look at a graph and know what to cook.
