Mind of a Maker
A daily blog inspired by Matthew Dicks
“Every action you take is a vote for the type of person you wish to become. No single instance will transform your beliefs, but as the votes build up, so does the evidence of your new identity.”
To become better at something, you have to practice. What better way to become a better writer and storyteller than to practice by making a habit of writing daily?
In this daily blog, we’ll discuss Maker-related topics as well as what inspires projects, including YouTube videos, Movies, TV Shows, Disney, Star Wars, LEGO, Books, and more. Everything is on the table, and nothing is off-limits.

How I Got Interested In Making Things
After being completely burned out in my corporate job, I went down the YouTube rabbit hole of Makers.
Analysis Paralysis
Overanalyzing everything keeps me stuck in a cycle of indecision and guilt, but this blog is my step toward breaking free—because living with "what if" is far worse than taking imperfect action.
Good Days & Not As Good Ones Too
When struggling to start a task, I find setting a timer for just 25 minutes helps me overcome inertia, often leading to a productive flow—and I'd love to hear any strategies that help you get started too!
Why not start today?
Inspired by "Atomic Habits" and "Someday is Today," the author commits to a daily blog to improve their storytelling and writing, sharing inspirations from their creative projects, media, and daily life while embracing imperfection as part of the Maker's journey.
