I built an AI version of my future self to tell me what to do.

At work, I am generally good at creating clarity and driving things forward. In my personal life, not so much.

I kept noticing the same pattern: small things that should take two minutes were staying unresolved for months. I was spending plenty of time thinking about unfinished tasks, but not actually doing them.

Which is a problem, because it's hard to be present when your brain is full of loose ends.

I already know many of the habits I need to improve. I already know the kind of person I want to be. What I was missing was a system to close the gap between knowing and doing.

So I built Future Tom.

Future Tom is an AI version of my idealized future self, loaded with the context of current me. He has one job: tell me exactly what to do next.

Each morning, Future Tom gives me instructions for the day. I try to follow them. Then I write about what happened.

The goal is to see whether this can help me act sooner, stay disciplined, and be more present in the areas of life where it matters most.

Future Tom is evolving. Hopefully, so will I.

Follow along to see if Future Tom can help current me do better. Launching July 2026.
