One document has been shaping my toughest decisions for years: my 5-year vision.

It’s a story I wrote about my life on a specific date, five years in the future. A few pages describing where I was, who I was with, and how I felt.

Since then, I’ve used it as a filter for every tough decision. The question is simple: which choice brings me closer to that vision?

In this week’s newsletter, I share the step-by-step process for writing your own 5-year vision. It only takes about an hour, but it can change how you see your future.
