The Number 1 Thing You Should Do To Start Making Things This Weekend

Have you been thinking about starting to Make things, but just can't for some reason?

Whether you've had dreams of redecorating your house, finally building that patio furniture, or just want to have a new hobby, Making things is a fantastic thing to start doing. However, it can be tough to figure out exactly where to start, leading you down countless rabbit holes online. While online, all you see are people with massive workshops making it look simple to create whatever they want, which can make it even more difficult to get started.

Fortunately, there is one thing you can do to start this weekend.

What to do? JUST START

Yes, it's that simple.

No, you don't need a shop full of tools.

No, you don't need to know exactly what you're doing.

No, you don't need the perfect first project.

The 3 things standing in your way are you, your ego, and your fear.

Once you can get over your fear of hurting your ego, you can just get started.

Find an extremely simple project to get started. For most simple projects, you only need a way to cut wood to size, a way to secure it together, a way to make it smooth, and a way to make it look good (for those keeping score: a handsaw, a drill, some sandpaper, and paint). You're not trying to build something to go in The Louvre, you're knocking our your first project so you can move onto better ones.

It really is that simple.

Just get started.
