Sunday Write It
An end-of-the-year activity I often do with my students is
the Ten-Year Plan. I ask them to write down where they would like to be and
what they would like to be doing in ten years. Then, I collect the papers and
file them away.
Students have contacted me years later to ask if I
still have their papers. I do have them, and I’m working toward digitizing all
of them. When I get a request, I send a copy to that student, unless they want
the original. It is interesting for both of us to see how their lives evolved.
Sometimes they are doing exactly what they laid out years before, but most of
the time their path has been very different, and often surprising.
But you can do this right now, with a ten-year plan, or a
five-year, a one-year, or whatever. Write
down what you want in the future and file the paper away where you can find
it later. It will motivate you to you put your plans on paper, and this is a technique
many people use.
Try it!
