We should be living in the future.
I’m not talking about jet packs and the like. I’m talking about using the future as a motivating tool.
Today I wrote to my students, “Two weeks from now, the Aces Concert will be a memory!”
(Incidentally, come see us on May 29, in person or on YouTube livestream!)
The idea of having two weeks to shape the kind of memories I will have is a powerful one. Now I have 14 days to make sure that when I remember this event, I remember it well.
Live in the future, at least a little bit. It clarifies the present.
