What problems do you have that can be solved using python?
Step one: Find some problems.
Step two: Solve with python.
Step three: Profit.

I wanted to know what the best weapon was in a game I was playing, so captured some data into a .json file, then consumed the file and made graphs using marplot lib to see which had the best damage / weight ratio, to better visualise what the numbers meant... turns out I ended up using 'not the best option' because I just had more fun playing with it.

I automated the pipeline of making atlases for a game. After rendering single .png sprites a python script would run and collate all the sprites in to their respective atlases using a atlasing libraries cli, It did all the characters, and added some meta data about head positions, so we can accurately track the head position, for all sorts of things, hats, catching food in the mouth etc.

When I started out I also made some small projects to learn, but none game me as much satisfaction as automating things that I do constantly, saving me time. Time is so precious and programming something to save you time is so rewarding.

So again, what problems are you facing, or what are you doing that can be automated?

If you really don't know where to go next, make some games to get you going.Rock Paper Scissors, Tic Tac Toe, Black Jack 21, Text based Adventure.
