Would you like to have a remarkable life? Warning this exercise could seriously change you life for the better (and has for many people). Debbie constantly receives letters saying it has all come true.
This is an extract from a Tim Ferris Podcast where he talks to Debbie Millman. Debbie shares 'Your Ten Year Plan for a Remarkable Life' exercise she modified from Milton Glaser and teaches in her classes. Here's the exercise
THE EXERCISE
So let say it is 10 years from now (eg Feb 2028. What does your life look like? What are you doing? Where are you living? Who are you living with? Do you have pets? What kind of house are you in? Is it an apartment are you in the city are you in the country? What does your furniture look like? What is your bed like? What are your sheets like? What kind of clothes do you wear? What kind of hair do you have?
Tell me about your pets, tell me about your significant other, do you have children? Do you have a car? Do you have a boat? Talk about your career. What do you want? What are you reading? What are you making? What excites you? What is your health like?
And write this day, this one day ten years from now. So one day in the winter of 2027, what does your whole day look like? Start from the minute you wake up, brush your teeth, have your coffee or tea, all the way through until minute you tuck yourself in at night. What is that day like for you?
Dream big, dreams without any fear. Write it all down. You don’t have to share it with anyone other than yourself. Put your whole heart into it. And write like there is no tomorrow; write like your life depends on it because it does.
And then read it, once a year, and see what happens. It i!s magic!It is astounding!
