Reverse-Engineer Your Life

Have you ever imagined your ideal day at age 80? Or, if you’re already 80 (or close), what about your perfect day at 100?

In The 5 Types of Wealth, Sahil Bloom suggests vividly picturing your future self—where you are, who you’re with, and how you feel. This vision can help you reverse-engineer your present, shaping your choices today to create that future.

Cal Newport takes a similar approach to lifestyle-centric planning: mapping out the life you want and making intentional moves to achieve it.

Both are powerful ways to step back from The Busyness to ensure you build the life you want.

I'd love to know your thoughts on this exercise.
