The important part is to just be honest. This is your professional journey and no
one else's.
It is what you decide to make it!
You can write it as long as you do not open it until the date or you can
use FutureMe.org (futureme.org) to send an email to yourself and have it
delivered sometime in the future..you decide when!
1.
Choose an age.
Before doing anything else, decide how old you want your future
self to be when you read this letter. You may want to read the letter when you‘re
18, 25, or 30 years old. Choosing an age will help you define the goals you want to
achieve by that time in your life.[1]
You may want to choose an age that puts you in different circumstances
than you are currently in. If you write the letter as a freshman in high
school and read it when you‘re in college, you‘ll be able to see how much
your life has changed and whether or not your goals have been met.
Be casual.
You‘re writing this letter to yourself, so don‘t feel you have to take a
formal tone. Write as though you are talking to your best friend.[2]
When talking about your current self in this letter, use ―I‖ language. When
talking about your future self in this letter, use ―you‖ language.
