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?

And when one references "distraction", "losing attention" or "breaking concentration", he means that something disturbs him from following a markov chain to produce hypotheses about future. Learning basically involves training these chains, but as soon as you learn something, you will find future encounters with it boring and lose interest. So there is no danger of people being addicted to specific activity, unless it produces some dopamine feedback loop.
