A Personal Futures Wiki is an always-available online space that helps you build personal foresight. You can use it to organize relevant information about your personal past, present, and future. Selected output from your wiki is to be submitted in your Personal Futures Portfolio (Final Exam) in UAT's Foresight Development course. Your PF Wiki itself can be fully private. No one else needs to see it but you and anyone you choose to invite.

1. Please create your own Personal Futures Wiki like this one on wetpaint (or another web-based organizational space of your choice, like GoogleDocs, PBWiki, etc.). Choose a memorable URL (like yourname.wetpaint.com) and wiki name (you can easily change the name at any time, but not the URL unless you make a whole new wiki). Most people keep their wikis private, and sent out viewing or editing invitations to others as they wish. NOTE: Private wikis are great for private diaries, but I wouldn't store passwords or other highly sensitive info here. Even private wikis on wetpaint may not be fully secure.

2. Add the following pages (bold names below) to your wiki (click "Add a new page."). After you create each new page be sure to click back to "Home" before adding the next page or you will get cascading subpages. You might also want to cut and paste the Legend table below into the homepage of your wiki.

GTD Pages
Tasks+Waiting	Single-step "Next Actions" ("Tasks") you can do now, & "Waiting For Others" items.
Projects+Skills	Multi-step, long-term "Projects" you have going, and any "Skills" that make you unique.
Ideas+Questions	Someday/Maybe "Ideas" (personal, biz, etc.) and long-term "Questions" to research.

3. Cut and paste the assignments on each page of this wiki template into your own wiki. Please do these assignments in your own wiki, and submit them (after editing out any particular parts you may wish to keep personal) in your Personal Futures Portfolio (TCH110 Final), as directed on the course shell.

4. Feel free to make other mods (add more(add pages,your reorganizeown pages,new dopages, additionalreorganize work,pages, rename pages if you have better names)names, add crazy graphics) as desired to your wiki. Again, your own personal wiki is fully private.private. Share it only with those others you wish, if any. I hope you find it a powerful tool for visualizing and improving your personal future!
