Look Ahead survey

Life after school: what would help you?

Timeless Lifeskills (TLS) makes free, ad-free videos on future-ready skills like using AI for study and work, and life-ready skills like knowing yourself and living joyfully. In English and Hindi.

We would rather make what you actually need than guess. So: a few taps, two or three optional stories, and you help shape what we make next.

You are… (optional)
Where do you live now?

Part 2 of 5 · Future-Ready skills

Where do you want to be in 3 to 5 years? What is holding you back?

Talking about planning ahead at a TLS workshop
Start early, practice daily: planning ahead at a TLS workshop.

Young people your age have big aspirations, and are sometimes anxious about what is holding them back: not knowing enough about AI, having no one to guide them, wanting to communicate better. What would you like to be, and what is holding you back?

Whether you are in a job, the family business, freelancing or still studying: nobody has it all figured out. Not even the people on LinkedIn.

In 3 to 5 years, where would you like to be?Pick the one closest to your dream.
What is holding you back?Pick up to 3.

Naming what holds you back is half the map. Well done.

How often do you use AI tools like ChatGPT, Gemini or Meta AI?
How do you think AI will change your work?

Fun fact: AI still can’t make a decent cup of chai. You have the edge.

Would a friendly challenge on using AI well motivate you? A little nudge to push yourself.
If you took up a challenge like that, what would you love to learn to do with AI?Pick up to 2.

Think of a moment since leaving school when you felt stuck, confused or out of your depth: at college, at work, in a new city. What happened, and what would have helped? (optional)

A few lines is enough. No names, please.

Feeling good, and keeping it that way

From every breath to every muscle: getting to know your body.

A career is a marathon, not a sprint. Energy, sleep, relationships and the voice in your head matter as much as your CV. Your phone gets charged every night. Do you?

These questions are anonymous, and you can skip any of them.

Lately, how are you doing?
What is on your mind these days?Pick up to 3.

Which of these slow you down sometimes?Pick up to 3.

Noticing this is the first step. Many people never get this far.

When things get hard, who or what do you turn to?Tick any.
Is there a belief you grew up with, about careers, money, gender roles, relationships, health or “what will people say”, that you later questioned? What changed your mind? (optional)

A few lines is enough. No names, please.

Your TLS, your way

A Learning Festival, 2018.

We will create helpful videos first. Later, when TLS visits a school near you, perhaps a meetup can be organised. Tell us what you would actually turn up for.

Almost there. You are doing better than most New Year resolutions.

Which of these would you join?Tick any.

Nearly done. Your future self is already saying thanks.

Which language do you prefer for videos?
What is the best way to hear from TLS?Tick any.
If you could ask an experienced mentor one question today, what would it be? (optional)

A few lines is enough. No names, please.

Last word

Any other ideas or comments you would like to share? (optional)

A few lines is enough. No names, please.

Would you like to hear from TLS?You can always opt out later.

Thank you!

You have just done more thinking about your future than most people do before buying a phone. Your answers will shape what TLS makes next.
