Consultant Matthew Dicks show us how to live our best life in his book Someday Is Today: 22 Simple, Actionable Ways to Propel Your Creative Life.
Someday—-when the kids are grown, when work lightens up, when I win the lottery — I am going to start that business. Become a yoga teacher, write that book, develop that app, paint that picture, finish my degree, pick up that musical instrument. We all know the drill; we block our creative life using procrastination as a tool. But, that can end today if you want to move forward.

Dicks’ book empowers readers to make manageable changes to achieve the things they would love to make happen without upending their lives. The practical advice he shares has worked for him and countless other creative people he has consulted, whatever their goal.

We talk about

silencing negative messages from family, friends, and teachers
eliminating time-sucking people and activities
being willing to be lousy when you first begin
finding supporters here, there, and everywhere
cultivating optimism in the face of negativity and obstacles
how to be kind to ourselves
develop effective communication
saying bye-bye to perfection. We are perfect just as we are
being accountable
sleeping correctly
