I sometimes do write a letter to my future self. I should do it more often though!

Re: Write a Letter to Your Future Self
#22I highly recommend doing this. I also highly recommend not doing it digitally. I recently came across an email I'd sent to myself a decade ago. It was a serendipitous find and could've easily been lost for all time among the 100K emails floating around. But the process of writing it is worth it, and the reading of it some time later can be deeply rewarding.
I made a service to do this physically, i.e it sends you a paper letter in the future!

#25My letter never came. :( I spent ages writing it and describing my feelings and what I planned for my future. I had detailed my improvement plan for 10 years. Randomly I remembered this service and was disappointed since I didn't receive the email.

At least that's why I've never used this service and never will, even though I think it would be worthwhile.

#27Interesting that they changed back their business model. I used the service a few times but stopped when they started forcing users into a monthly/yearly subscription to write more than one letter per year or so.

For me this link leads to what looks like a domain squatting page. Is something broken?

That's a really good idea I have never heard! I think this would help to focus a lot of young people if you encourage them to do it.
