Write a letter to the future
FutureMe has delivered over 10 million letters to the future since 2002!
"I love this. I've sent myself 5 letters so far and every year it's a surprise. Because I forget so easily. It turns into such a deep reflective process, that I usually weep and laugh while I write."

I've been writing letters to my future self using @futureme since 2015. It has such a cathartic effect and has helped me set long term goals and reminders. Highly recommended!

I really recommend @futureme !!!! I just received an email I wrote last year and wheew! A lot can change in a year or rather still be the same if you let it.

Hi there! Writing a letter to the future can be a powerful experience. And receiving a surprise letter from the past can be an even more powerful experience. Check out the testimonials all of the people who agree!.
Here are some ideas for a future letter:
- To your next birthday (obviously!)
- To a date by which you predict we are "back to normal" and recovered from the Covid-19 pandemic. What did we learn?
- On the date you accomplish an important milestone (graduate? get married? retire!)
- Write a story in present tense about your life in 5 years ("You are sipping coffee in your new home...") and paint a picture of your future self's day.
- To yourself, when you will be your parents age.
- To your kids, when they will be your age. Or to the age when you think you will have kids.
- To your spouse/partner, on your 10th (20th? 50th?) anniversary (you must create an account first to write to someone else!)
- To the year 2030, when the IPCC says we must hit Greenhouse Gas Reduction goals to keep Global Warming below 1.5 degrees celsius.
- To yourself, while you're on your next vacation.
- ...Or...while on vacation, to yourself when you've back "to the grind."
