Now is now, but you’re watching this video when it’s not now… even though it’s now when I recorded this video! This web resource is pretty awesome, and will let you send email now to yourself in the future!

FutureMe is based on the principle that memories are less accurate than emails. You remember those letters you had to write your future self back in high school, don’t you? This is the same type of idea. You can write a letter to yourself, and use FutureMe to determine the date it should be delivered on.

Why not write a letter to yourself that talks about where you want to be with your career in one year? Send it to yourself a year from now, and then take a look objectively at how well you met those goals. Write anything and everything to yourself. You can make it public or private. Beware, though – if you choose to make the email public, the entire world can read it!

If you choose to register for the site, you can also send future emails to other people. On a sad – but poignant – note, a recent cancer victim sent a “future” email to his loved ones during his final days on Earth. The emails were received a few weeks later, and were very important to those he had left behind. You can use FutureMe in similar ways, or for anything your mind can dream up, whether it’s serious or fun!

Go ahead, you know you want to try it out. It’s free, and it’s easy to do. Check out FutureMe today! Now! Not tomorrow, but now – the REAL now!
