Today I Will: Have a Conversation with My Future Self Using Voice Notes

Recording a voice note to your future self can be an enlightening way to reflect on your current life, your goals, and your dreams. This guide will help you set aside time to create a meaningful message to your future self.

Reflect and Connect

Make sure to add this project to your agenda and share it with a friend who would enjoy embarking on a reflective journey too!

Find a Quiet Space

Choose a quiet and comfortable place where you can speak freely without any disturbances. Ensure this space is conducive to introspection and reflection so your thoughts can flow without interruption.

Prepare Topics to Discuss

• Think about the themes you want to address: career goals, personal growth, health ambitions, or even your current emotions.
• Jot down a few bullet points to guide your message but keep it informal and conversational.

Set the Intention

Before you start recording, set an intention for why you want to communicate with your future self. This can be for reassurance, motivation, or simply a snapshot of your current life for future reflection.

Record Your Voice Note

Using your phone or a voice recorder, start recording your message. Speak naturally as if you are having a conversation with your future self. Be honest and heartfelt in your delivery.

Store and Set a Reminder

Save your voice note in a secure place and set a calendar reminder for a future date when you will listen to it. This can be a year from now, or a milestone birthday, or any significant future date.
