That's why it's important to ground your vision of your future self in your values. I personally write a lot to myself (zettelkasten style), and I have two macros for notes that I regularly take: "what do I value?" and "what is my trajectory?" I hope in making these explicit I can have an easier time aligning them.
Anyone who has read Atomic Habits will surely find this exercise familiar. It's basically what the whole book is about (plus a mental framework to try to control your trajectory that the title eludes to).

- Zambyte 3y agoI think it works in the sense that I have a greater feeling of clarity in what I want from my life. I've been doing it less than a year though, and I feel like great change accumulates over many years, so it's hard to say if my actions are really that different than if I hadn't been doing this.
