I want to do a programming project with Lisp; but I can’t start a project; there’s so many ideas to choose.

I've dealt with this. The trick is to do one that you don't care too much about. You think of a crappy idea, and you start it. After a couple weeks of working on it in your free time, you might get bored and start some other idea and decide to come back to it later. It's okay—start the new thing. You may not ever come back to it (I almost never do) but it will break your block. Eventually you'll have a halfway decent idea that you'll keep working on for a longer period of time, and you'll be satisfied.
