I really really need to start practising some development work again, in order to motivate me though I need a goal, something to aim for.

But every time I sit down and try and think "right what shall I do", I list a bunch of categories of possible software and think that's been done countless times and probably a lot better than I could do.

How do you decide on what you're going to develop??? Someone give me some ideas I'm at a loss!
 
If you just want to practice then what's wrong with things already having been done before?
 
There is nothing wrong with 're-developing' an application.

Take a piece of software that you use on a daily basis, and find ways in which you could make it better, and develop it to your specification.
 
If you wanna do something that hasn't been done before take your favourite application that allows plugins and make one that will speed up a process, or download XNA game studios and have some fun :D
 
what do you do on a day to day basis, any way to speed that up?

i recently wrote a piece of software that measures my Hdd space over time each day it takes a snapshot of the drives on my system then outputs to SQL

SSRS then graphs the data nicely for me

my next project is going to try to parse my TV collection to find out which files are missing. I.e. i have 6,7,8 and 10 but 9 is missing.

would like to try to write a Backup application at some point

oh and im planning an android app soon
