Dear Self:

Recently my fiance got a letter in the mail from his high school history teacher. When he opened it, it was a letter to his future self that he had written as an assignment, and the teacher held onto it for 10 years, and then mailed it out. While it might seem silly for a teacher to hang onto something like that for you for so long, I thought it was really cool. You can define your goals that way, and then once you get to that point and open the letter, you can catch a glimpse of yourself at that time in your life, and see if you met your expectations. Grad school would also be a good time to write a letter like that, because you are finishing your education, about to start your career, and don’t know where you will be in 10 years.

FutureMe is a website that allows you to write an email to yourself, and you pick a date to be sent. What you say to yourself in ten years? Do you think that you would have accomplished everything you thought you would by then?
