Lack Imagination to build own projects

Hey guys

As the title suggests, I am struggling to come up with project ideas. I don't know if anyone has encountered this before and what steps they took to combat this.

Some background - I've read the book and am currently working through Rust In Action by Tim, but it would be nice to work on a project on the side in the mean time.

I don't know if its due to my lack of computer science basics, (not having a low level knowledge of computer systems) that is holding me back, or that I am just not very creative... I just cant visualize a problem and then how to solve it.

I understand syntax when I read it, but I feel like I'm just constantly rebuilding what someone else has already built, and not something original that I didn't need to use a tutorial for.

Any help is ever so greatly appreciated
