Where it started
The cartoons that started it.
A lifelong fascination
Some kids loved dinosaurs. I loved the idea that you could move through time. It never wore off. It became a TEDx talk, and it traces back to a very specific set of cartoons.
Where it started
It's basically meditating
Here's how I do it. It's a lot like meditating, only instead of clearing your mind, you walk your future timelines. Pick one and play it out. Look at how the choices you make today land on the person you turn into. You won't know everything, nobody does. But taking the time to walk around in your future a bit really does help. Then, once you've wandered up there for a while, comes the most important part: you have to come back to today. Get clear on what needs to happen now, before that time, to make the future you just visited the one that actually arrives. So next time you get the chance, try a little time travel.
Where it all comes together
I gave a TEDx talk on exactly this: time travel as a tool, using the lens of your past to imagine and build the best possible future for yourself. Same idea I've been chasing since the cartoons, just on a bigger stage.
