I can't do it anymore

Hello /prog/

I want to program, but I can't. I have no ideas which I feel are suited to my skill level. Everything I read about is either too easy or too complex, and everything that I want to work on is far too complex for me to work on.

I want to improve myself and work on the things I am really interested in, but I can't improve myself if I don't work on intermediate projects, and I have no idea what to work on to get my skills to that level.

It's depressing. It has got to the point where I haven't seriously written a line of code in a few months. I want to do something, but I always find excuses to not do it.

How do you guys deal with crushing laziness and ineptitude? How do you improve yourself? How do you motivate yourself to realize your programming dreams?
How do I become the Master Programmer?

Have you never had a personal itch to scratch? Making your own to-do list or anime tracking program shouldn't be hard to do and you should stay motivated to finish it if you're not satisfied by any of the existing SOLUTIONS.

I've noticed that using a very high-level language that shows results fast like FIOC is a great way of reinforcing your feedback loop and getting motivated easier. That's if you're willing to put up with FIOC's bullshit, of course.
