Take care of your future self

A friend sent me a photo of this post-it, written by his daughter.

Dear Future Self,

Have a good lunch. Hope you did well on your science test 2-day.

Sincerely,

His daughter has heard me speak about the importance of “taking care of your future self.”

I’m a big believer in this self-defined concept:

Back-up laptops. Auto-pay. Go-bags. Cloud storage. Snoozing emails and schedule-send. Financial advisors. Roadside emergency kits. Calcium scoring. Meal kits. 403(b)s. Daily exercise. Backup keys. Auto-ship.

An organized collection of cords and chargers to die for.

I play the long game.

So, too, does Alana.

Smart kid.
