Time Capsule: Write a Letter to your Future Self

This is an unprecedented time — and one you’ll want to remember when you get older. Write a letter to your future self 10 years from now. Here are some ideas of what to include:

  • How is your life different from this time last month?

  • What is the hardest thing about staying home?

  • Has anything been a pleasant surprise in having to be at home more?

  • What technology has helped you the most?

  • What is the best book you have read?

  • What is the best movie / TV show you have watched?

  • Have you done any hobbies, crafts or learned a new skill?

  • Any unique family activities?

  • Finally, have you learned anything new about yourself? Your family? Your community?

    Be sure to save the letter somewhere safe to read later!
