# Write An Email To The Future You Future Me By Chris Skleryk | Published 2008-02-07 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/write-an-email-to-the-future-you-future-me References: [notcot.org](http://www.notcot.org) & [futureme.org](http://futureme.org/) This concept is similar to writing something in junior high and having your teacher mail it to you years after you left the school. It would be so exciting to get mail from yourself you had forgotten you wrote. **[Future Me](http://futureme.org)** is a website that does exactly that, via email. All you do is create a new entry in a basic email format starting with “Dear future me”, you than select a date you wish to receive your message to the future and voila! Not limiting the site to just a simple email, Future Me also allows you to read other peoples very public but anonymous emails which they sent to their future selves. They have also taken these public entries and compiled them into a book which is appropriately titled **[Dear Future Me, Hopes, Fears, Secrets, Resolutions](http://www.amazon.ca/Future-Hopes-Fears-Secrets-Resolutions/dp/1581809778)** available on Amazon for 16.99. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.3/10 - Popularity: 18% | Activity: 43% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Life](https://www.trendhunter.com/life) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Email to Future Self:** Opportunities for digital platforms to offer personalized email services that deliver messages to the future. ### Who This Affects Most - **Digital Communication:** The digital communication industry can leverage the concept of sending emails to the future to offer innovative services. - **Self-reflection and Personal Development:** The self-reflection and personal development industry can use this concept to create tools that help individuals reflect on their goals and aspirations. - **Publishing:** Publishing companies can explore opportunities to compile public entries into books that offer insights into the hopes, fears, secrets, and resolutions of different individuals. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Scheduled Message Vaults](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/postdatame.md) - [Scheduled Messaging Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/memoria.md) - [Wedding Time Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/posttoforever.md) - [Email Productivity Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/write-mail-ai.md) - [Temporary Email Services](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/funmail.md) - [AI-Written Printed Letters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snappysnail.md) - [Annual Reflection Journals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/birthday-vault.md) - [AI Creative Emails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/magicmail.md) - [Professional Email Draft Features](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/email-draft.md)
