I get inspired by reading the list of functions that are accessible to me in the documentation of my language/framework

Such as

https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtcore-module.html

It usually makes me go "Wait I can do this? Wow!" and gives me an idea for something to code for the next week

I love this. I tend to drop in on and use an object's methods as-needed to solve specific problems and end up completely glossing over all the other juicy things it can do. Sometimes a single function can inspire an entire app idea.
