Best Possible Self

Best Possible Self is a writing exercise in which you describe, in specific detail, a future in which things have gone as well as they realistically could and you have worked towards what matters to you.

How it works

The instruction is not fantasy — it assumes effort and realistic constraint, which is what separates it from daydreaming. Writing it down matters more than thinking it; the specificity that writing forces is where the value is. It often surfaces priorities that were not obvious, simply because you had to name what "gone well" would actually contain.
