Do vs Make. How often do you mess them up?

Are you confused when you should use “do” and when “make”? Well, it is not a surprise, English language doesn’t have a clear rule to follow at this regard.
The following rule of thumb (with a zillion exceptions) will help you figure it out.

DO

Use “do” when talking about jobs, works, duties, leisures or tasks that do not produce anything physically tangible. E.g.: “You are doing a great job!”
It is common to use do when referring to indefinite activities, often together with words like something, what, thing, anything, nothing, everything, etc. E.g.: “We did something beautiful”
In informal English you can use it to replace a verb when the meaning is obvious. E.g.: “I’m doing the dishes”

MAKE

Use “make” when talking about building, producing, constructing, creating a physical object. E.g.: “I made a cup of tea”
To indicate the components that are used to make something or the origin of a product. E.g.: “implants are made of titanium”, and “This car is made in France”
It's common to use “make” when talking about money. E.g.: “We made a deal”, or “With the price of oil increasing, oil companies are making money”
Make can also be used to express a feeling or reaction. E.g.: “She made him happy”
