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?

Alright, thank you so much for your help. I'll certainly look into finding small projects to work on, exercising, and masturbating less.

I don't know about that

I am still really interested in programming, and I like to understand the theory behind what I'm doing, but when I can't do it, it's not because I don't want to, it's because I somehow can't compel myself to do it.

When I was a bit younger, I had a huge drive for programming and learning about CS, and I pumped out small, unpolished programs and ideas on a very regular basis, as well as spent lots of time reading relevant books. Now, after being "out of the game" for a while, I want to bring myself back to that level of creativity and quickness, but I can't do it, and need help to figure out how I should go about doing it.

I understand that there is a lot of money in CS, and I would love to make it big at some point in my life, but the main reason I want to go into this field is because I have been interested in this for a very long time now, and I feel that I will be able to start practicing on a regular basis again with some help, and that is what I made this thread for.
