Turn "Someday" Into Your Enemy
What if the most dangerous word in your vocabulary was "someday"? That horizon that never arrives, that promise you make to yourself that slowly transforms into regret. Matthew Dicks knows something about making the most of life-he's published nine books in twelve years while maintaining his teaching career, performing as a champion storyteller, running a wedding DJ business, and raising a family. His secret isn't superhuman ability but rather a fierce determination to turn "someday" into today. Unlike productivity guides demanding complete lifestyle overhauls, Dicks offers strategies that work within real-life constraints, transforming those little pockets of wasted time into opportunities for meaningful progress. The book doesn't ask you to wake at 4 AM or follow rigid systems-it simply challenges you to recognize that time is your most precious resource and to stop squandering it on the altar of "someday." What makes his approach different is its practicality-these are techniques used by someone juggling multiple careers and family responsibilities, not theoretical concepts from a productivity guru living in isolation.
