I keep repeating, “Self-control is just empathy with your future self” and it’s honestly saving my life right now.

Me, coming home to find the dishes are washed, because I washed them that morning: Dang, thanks Me From The Past!

Me, editing a draft of my fic even though I don’t feel like it and I don’t really NEED to do it tonight: I’m doing this for Me From The Future, because she is going to want to post this by Friday.
