1. Select and/or adjust a Future me worksheet. There are two types of worksheets:

• Hopes and dreams worksheet: 4 questions about the hopes and dreams of the users, this can be used with groups who are quite good at explaining their own ideas.
• Present and future worksheet: This has more directive questions about the current situation and then asks the users to explain how their answers will be different in 5, 10 or 15 years. This can be used when you have specific topics you want to explore. 

2. Ask the participants to answer the questions on the worksheet for themselves or use the worksheet in an interview.  You can decide to ask participants to fill out the worksheet directly or agree on a deadline and let them do it in their own time. 

3. By the end, everyone shares their worksheets, if they are very personal, you can make them anonymous. But if it’s possible to also reflect them with the whole group, that will bring a lot of added value. In that case organise a short group discussion where people can share the most striking outcomes and take notes of the discussion.

4. Take time to review all the diaries: do you see patterns, or differences in age, gender…? Make a summary (including common dreams, differences between now and in 5 years…) and discuss this with the team, and draw insights from it.
