Note to Self is a memoir released by American YouTuber, entrepreneur, and author Connor Franta. It was released on April 18, 2017 by Atria/Keywords Press, an imprint of Simon & Schuster.[1][2] It follows his 2015 memoir, A Work in Progress, and is succeeded by the 2021 memoir House Fires.

The book was written as a cathartic outlet, while Franta undertook therapy for clinically-diagnosed depression in 2015.[3] The sections are composed of short personal essays, stories, poetry, photography, letters to his past and future selves, and diary-style entries which focus on his experiences of depression, loss in love, coming out of the closet and social anxiety.[4][5]

A Rockville tour event for the book included an adaption into an interactive three-room sensory art exhibition, alongside a question and answer session with Franta.[6]
