This is a technique i have developed for myself knowing i have a trillion thoughts in my head at any given point of time, i leave notes for my future self for specific moments in time knowing if i ever an caught up in a particular situation... then that particular information is what I'll be searching for... which i have already provided in the present for my future self.
Believe me, as time goes by and my future versions of me merge into my time line... they have always and always thanked me for having my back!
Does any of you operate that way? Feel free to share.. i would love to know how.
