Have any helpful maker tips? Send them my way!

Hello RoadTest!

I'm working with our community team on a second volume of our Essential Tips for Makers eBook series (you can see the original here). Our fearless RoadTest leader rscasny suggested that I reach out to our wonderful group here and see if anyone might have some useful tips they've picked up that they'd be willing to contribute.

We'll be printing this eBook for distribution at Electronica 2018, and of course it'll live on in perpetuity on the community as well. If you have any ideas you'd like to share, please leave them in this thread! Also feel free to reach out to me directly if you have any questions.

Thanks everyone!

I encourage everyone to have a notebook and write all of your plans and ideas down before you try to build them.
The planning process enables you to think about the steps involved, which usually triggers additional steps and ideas.
The actual plan can be very rough, but it is the process that best prepares you to succeed, because it lets you establish the full scope of what you want to do.
