REALIZE YOUR CREATIVE DREAMS—STARTING TODAY

Are you good at dreaming about what you’re going to accomplish “someday” but not good at finding the time and getting started? How will you actually make that decision and do it? The answer is this book, which offers proven, practical, and simple ways to turn random minutes throughout your days into pockets of productivity, and dreams into accomplishments.

In addition to presenting his own winning strategies for getting from dreaming to doing, Matthew Dicks offers insights from a wide range of creative people—writers, editors, performers, artists, and even magicians—on how to augment inspiration with motivation. His actionable steps will help you:

  • silence negative messages from family, friends, and teachers
  • eliminate time-sucking activities (and people)
  • be willing to make terrible things
  • find supporters here, there, and everywhere
  • cultivate optimism in the face of negativity and obstacles

Each strategy is accompanied by amusing and inspiring personal and professional anecdotes and a clear plan of action. Someday Is Today will give you every tool to get started and finish that _________ [fill in the blank].

I’ve applied everything from the book in my life, and it works!!!

I read this book last year, and it’s a total game-changer for my productivity and personal growth! I actually met Matthew in person and got his autograph—he’s such a nice guy. His writing style is so simple to understand, and the examples he uses are super relatable. The book is full of simple, actionable steps that make getting stuff done feel super doable. It’s like having a personal coach on every page.

I’ve applied everything from the book in my life, and it really works. I also read his other book, “Storyworthy”, which is amazing for learning about storytelling.

If you’re ready to turn ‘someday’ into ‘today,’ you should definitely check it out. You won’t regret it!

I needed to hear this life changing book.

Thank you Mathew. I have never before consumed a book in such a quick gulp. I plan to go back to the beginning and re-read it slowly. You are an incredible human being.

Super motivating

I highly recommend this book for anyone who wants to find ways to make more time in their life to pursue their goals. This book inspired me to figure out how to gather together fragments of lost time and energy throughout my day so that I could build momentum on my creative projects. Matthew Dick’s narrative is funny, engaging, and warm-hearted. I got a big jolt of energy and motivation while reading this book. I also loved his book “Storyworthy.”

Awesome Book!

Highly recommend this book - it’s practical, flows well & my life changed by the 2nd chapter!!! Full of awesome pearls of wisdom. This is one book that already had me optimizing my time before I’d even finished it. Thanks Matthew Dicks - you’re an inspiration!

worth you money and time …

it's an interesting book
One reviewer criticized it in German - full of platitudes and cliches
Not true - some of the author’s insights might be well-known and you might even use them
However, it is a great book to brainstorm with yourself what you are doing wrong and what right
I enjoyed it a lot, worth buying and reading

Words of Wisdom and immense inspiration

Loved the book, and an audible version of it really sits well for self motivation. Filled with humor and seriousness too, it is a must read/listen

Some good bits. Not a seamless blend

Reminded me of the begets of the Holy Bible. For example, one idea is this, and this, one idea is so on and so on. Seemed short-sighted with some great parts and then with consistency becomes off-putting at the next turn.
