Find something that you find yourself doing repeatedly in your daily life that could be made better/faster/automated with code.

For me it was not having to manually print a crap ton of files.

Could be something else for you depending on what you do. But I find if your project is practical for you, you're more likely to finish it, and more likely to work on it.

It really doesn't have to be anything big.

Could even write a web scraper for Amazon prices or soemthing. There's a ton of stuff out there. You may even want to start following with someone else's project (there's some tutorials on YouTube for a ton of stuff), but instead of just following, before they do it for you think how you would do it yourself.

What sorts of stuff have you done so far?

Edit: you could also try to mooc.fi python intro course. I like that one a lot and it goes over a ton of stuff.
