Come up with designs for little things you're going to build. Start a Github/Bitbucket project (public or private, your choice). Write the design up, then code it. Start small - I wrote a python script to let me send GitHub gists from the command line and it turned into a multi-month project!

I've done what you've suggested quite a while ago, not sure to what effect. i don't know if anyone looks at my github.

I tried coming up with 'design' as best as I can but how do I even know what it will look like? I don't know! i don't even know what to make.
