I used to be in the habit of emailing myself links to read later. I once had an email arrive at my gmail account 3 months after I sent it. That's like what 1000 years in internet time? :D
- IncRnd 6y agoEmail is literally a store-and-forward technology!
- hk__2 6y agoThere are a couple services that allow you to write a letter to your future self and get it delivered in X months/years.
- slig 6y agofutureme.org. I remember writing some about 10 years ago.

- hk__2 6y agoI think it would be a great self-introspection exercise to “respond” to this letter. You don’t even need a letter- just write to your past self and tell him/her what you’ve achieved, what you’re proud of, what you wish you’d done differently, what you’re unsure about for the future.
