Sounds weird, but it works. Whenever I feel overwhelmed or can't figure out what I need, I open my notes app and write a short letter to my past self like, "Hey, I know things were rough back then. Here's what I wish you'd known."

Then I flip it and write back from my future self, like I'm offering advice or reassurance from a place where I’ve figured things out. It's honestly helped me get out of some mental ruts and see things with more clarity.

Small trick. Surprisingly powerful.
