I'll often find myself switching between "I" and "we", for example, this morning I had to run the dishwasher and my internal thought was "We've got to run the dishes today" and then I laughed at myself for using "we"

Now that you mention it, I use the second person of "you."

Now that you mention it, I use "you" for my future self a lot... "you've got to do the dishes when you get home"
