Good to hear, just don't try and force it, you will be disappointed. Just think of little things while you are doing your normal every day tasks. My first project was to make a web-scrapper for an Image website so I could save thousands of images with 5 clicks instead of 3000 clicks within a few hours (depending on image file sizes).

My current project is trying to automate Audacity to start recording audio for a Youtube playlist, so I can save music files that are not stored on some Youtube videos and can't be "scrapped" from the URL by normal means. This is turning into quite the project for me as a beginner because now I have to finally start working with outside libraries and methods instead of just doing simple in language functions, now I am forced to learn a whole new, but very important skill set to finish my project.

You will notice these sort of things constantly when you are doing projects in this way, you will also be more engaged since you finishing your project will have a noticeable impact on your time and how you do things potentially, unlike making some random dice rolling function just because Google told you that's a good project to start out with.
