Future Me: The Email Habit That Turns Your Best Self Into Your Boss
A simple, free tool to help you outsmart procrastination, change your identity, and get more done with less drama.
What Is The Future Me Email Thingy
Most productivity systems collapse the moment life gets noisy.
Future Me doesn’t.
It’s the tiny habit I’ve used for five years — the habit that’s helped me write three books in three years, win international publishing awards, and build a business that no longer wobbles every time a horse, cat or goose misbehaves.
Future Me is simple:
You write emails to your future self.
You also write emails from your future self to your past self.
It sounds strange, until you try it. Then it feels like you’ve hacked your own timeline.
Why Future Me Works
Identity Drives Action
When Future You congratulates Past You for finishing the hard thing, your brain quietly updates your identity to “I’m the kind of person who finishes hard things”.
Identity beats motivation every time.
Commitment You Can’t Wiggle Out Of
Research from Gollwitzer, Kahneman and Cialdini shows that when you create a specific, time-bound instruction — especially one that future-you receives as an email — you’re far more likely to follow through.
Time Travel Changes Behaviour
Mental time travel gives you enough psychological distance to think clearly.
Present You makes better decisions when supervised by Future You.
No mantras. No hacks.
Just a repeatable, very human way of behaving like the person you want to become.
What You Get (Free)
- A simple tool that lets you write emails to your future self

No paywall.
No funnel.
No performance.
Just a quiet, powerful habit you control.
A Note From Future Debbie
You will use this.
You will be surprised how well it works.
And you will probably swear at your past self at least once.
