Take Ownership of your Future Self

1. Take ownership of your Future Self

   • The article above asks you to recognize that the person you are today is not who you were five years ago, and is also not who you will be in five years. So you should recognize that, and start thinking now about who you want to become.

   • I loved this concept as it reminded me of a similar concept in the Atomic Habits book: Decide who you want to be. Then, in order to become the type of person you want to be, prove your new identity to yourself via small wins. 

   • Example from the AH book: 

     • Want to be taken seriously at work?

       • Identity: become the type of person who is always on time.

       • Small win: Schedule meetings with an additional 15–minute gap between them so that you can go from meeting to meeting and always show up early.
