What is something productive to do in programming?

I program in Python, and lately have been bored.
Eventually I would like to create applications,
but that involves learning a GUI. For some reason I’m really lazy, and don’t want to learn more pygtk. What can I do to stop this laziness? I really want to start programming some more.

    I use the videos to learn C++ from. There are a few games to program in them.

    A programmer who does not want to learn? Try another vocation or start playing with VB.NET.

    same situation happened to me, then I started programming games with VB.net and Flex. It helps me alot then luckily a group of students paid me just to edit their Thesis Project of millionaire’s game. I earned a lot thanks to that programming knowledge =)
