The more vivid a picture you paint, the quicker and smoother your journey toward your future self will be. For him, mindfulness is about achieving a goal at some distance – maybe three months, maybe ten years later. Refining your system will reduce decision fatigue, improve your time management, and free you up for deep work on the most important items.

I actually decided to DNF it a bunch of months ago, but somehow I picked it up again on my Kindle, and then I was so close to the end, I just went ahead and finished it.But, by the end some of the key actions were things like praying or saying you are the thing you want your future self to be.

We can choose to intentionally reframe a memory in a positive mood, safe environment, and around trusted people. Not saying it isn’t important to be in touch with who we were, but getting in touch with your future self is nuclear powered! He sets aside Thursday and Friday afternoons to tackle any urgencies that arise during the week, but his future self’s financial goals literally come first.
