Today I just received email that I wrote to myself 2 years ago from FutureMe in my inbox,...and I think I should write about this classic service(they operate since 2002!)
I use FutureMe as tool to reflect on my (past)thought, idea, worldview, etc. or to catch up on some topic that interest me(say, new upcoming product)
Its simplicity is what appeal to me. You just write what's in your head, sent it and just forget about it. Time flies and one day you'll get a little surprise in your inbox. It's surprisingly good tool for brain dump and to 'resurface' your old thought...
I don't know if there is any alternative that did that same, maybe just any email client nowadays with schedule sending will do, but I use their service for several years and still happy about it.
Maybe the point is not about the service, but the importance of periodically reflect on yourself and your thought...something that's become harder to do in today's world of neverending information.
