I highly recommend doing this. I also highly recommend not doing it digitally.

I recently came across an email I'd sent to myself a decade ago. It was a serendipitous find and could've easily been lost for all time among the 100K emails floating around. But the process of writing it is worth it, and the reading of it some time later can be deeply rewarding.

I made a service to do this physically, i.e it sends you a paper letter in the future!

Hah.. the Swiss Post has an app that lets you design a postcard and send it, it even has a "every user can send 1 free postcard every day" that cool kids use a meme-printing service. I feel like they should also offer a "print-a-letter-in-the-future and send it to user" service. As a bonus they can probably track the movements of their customers because of their "address change" service (if you move houses and use this service they'll let companies know of your new address). And it's the Swiss Post, it shouldn't be disappearing any time soon..

A physical letter is definitely nice but can be a hassle if you move.
