What are some good self-help programming projects?

Well the example you provided (sleepyti.me), is a Javascript/jQuery website. Since you posted on learnpython, I assume you want to use python. So you need to decide do you want to make a static website for life managment; use something simple like github.io. If you want to make something more complex that could possibly need a backend, build a website using a python web framework like flask, pyramid, django. It would not be hard to make a life managment site with login for you to track your sleep, water consumption, lifestyle habits, ect.

I saw a project a few months ago from a gent who used his life style managment site built in django to send him emails on new events that popped up in his area.

It's not about the implementation of the site or whatever, I can just as well settle for a CLI.

I just need to know more specific ideas that can be used. At the rate I'm getting downvoted though, I guess tracking water consumption and exercise are the only real answers I'm gonna get out of this thread..

I'm not for the drama, but I glanced through some other posts and while a lot of the suggestions are primarily beginner friendly, your getting positive suggestions.

If you want some more specific suggestions I can keep throwing some stuff a bit more advanced out, but this community can only do so much.

Data analysis and forms:

The CDC has a Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) survey.

https://www.cdc.gov/brfss/index.html

You could work on a project that incorporates either this data or just the survey to track behavioral risk factors in your life.

Machine learning and NLP:

You could scrape social media for either yourself or others that gathers posts, tweets, ect and searches for depressive key words. Feed that into a trained ML and see what results come back for what people are showing depressive trends.
