This installment of the Homeless Blogger was hosted by my new friend Brian (not Brain) Dollar. Brian and I both spoke at a conference in North Carolina where we met for the first time. I must admit that it’s a total honor to know him now and I look forward to many more meetings and conversations in the future! Brian has a creative spin on the typical “kidmin” blog, so be sure to check it out!

In this post, I recounted a very interesting experience I had while at the Kidmin Conference in Chicago. While there, I had the opportunity to meet many Kidmin pros from the past. These were the men and women who have been leading in the world of kimin for 30+ years. My advantage? I spent a lot of time with Bro Jim Wideman and he know’s all the long-termers. So, it was pretty cool to hear some stories about those days long gone. On the other end though, most of the new and up-and-coming movers and shakers in kidmin were present. It provided an interesting mix of Kidmin past and Kidmin future all in one space. Read the whole article here!

I wrote myself an encouraging email set to be delivered one year into the future. I quickly forgot about the site and service. Then a year later, I was grateful to get such an encouraging email from myself. What a cool little site.

There are all kinds of applications here:

  • Need to remind yourself of something to do in the future. Send yourself an email… in the future.

Okay, that’s about all I could come up with. The site is more about fun than productivity. However, I did think of one other use. When setting goal for the future, type out all the goals and have them emailed to you in 3 months, 6 months and in one year. The email might serve as a great reminder to keep yourself on track.
