Plan a Strategy for Talking to Your Future Self

The letter to your future self tends to list accomplishments and aspirations and is embarrassing to read back. The useful version captures what the current moment actually feels like, the questions that will be interesting to revisit, one specific prediction, and a way to make sure it actually gets read. This designs the system.

Design a personal letter or message system for communicating with your future self across a significant time horizon. The horizon is {TIME_HORIZON} (e.g. one year, five years, when your child starts school).

Cover:
1. What information your future self will most value from the current moment (hint: not achievements, but context)
2. The questions to answer now that will be most interesting to revisit later
3. How to ensure the message is actually read rather than forgotten in a folder
4. One prediction to make that is specific enough to be verifiable
5. The tone to use: how to write to a person who is you but has had different experiences
