What would be even cooler is to write yourself pre-ass chewings. I know that three weeks from now I'm going to be in a procrastinating funk - so I write myself a letter. Set it to email myself in three weeks. When the time comes, so will the letter. I got my whiney rant out last weekend, so I'm good for now. Give me three weeks... Could this be any more awesome?

I got my whiney rant out last weekend, so I’m good for now. Give me three weeks…

Write a preemptory letter before you f up. I should make myself a template and set it to automatically send. What a great idea, Charlie. Write a preemptory letter before you f up.

Love it. Don't always agree, but that just keeps things interesting, don't you think? About the rant....are you sure you weren't talking to ME? Good idea the commentor had about sending yourself a letter three or four weeks from now. I discovered your blog this week. Love it.

And glad you like it. And yes - disagreeing sometimes just adds spice. It's essential and healthy. Thanks for agreeing with that. You know, I came up with the rant idea after seeing a cool book that has a bunch of accomplished women writing letters to their younger selves. Great idea, and great execution. My favorite: buy apple stock in the 1980s. I think sometimes we need to write ourselves reality check letters in the here and now, and get some benefit out of it. Thanks Deb! @Deb - Welcome!

It's astonishing how many urgent domestic details need attending to before I can pick up the phone to call that interview subject back.
