Practices that may help
- Time Perspective Therapy
Philip Zimbardo's time perspective research shows that people systematically over-index on one time orientation — past-negative, present-hedonistic, future-focused — and that this bias predicts health, financial, and relationship outcomes. The goal is a "balanced time perspective" that draws flexibly on all orientations. The psychometric research is solid; direct clinical trial evidence for time perspective therapy as an intervention is more limited. - Diagnose your dominant time perspective
Identify your default time orientation before trying to change it.
Time Perspective Therapy - Audit the week for time perspective balance

Special Time (Lawrence Cohen — Playful Parenting) - Special Time (Lawrence Cohen — Playful Parenting)
Special time is a structured daily or near-daily practice of ten to twenty minutes of fully child-directed, uninterrupted one-on-one play, drawn from Lawrence Cohen's Playful Parenting framework. It fills the child’s attachment "cup," reduces bids for attention through misbehavior, and builds the relationship reserve that makes limits and teaching more effective. Clinical and observational evidence consistently supports child-directed play as a relationship and behavior intervention. - Follow the child’s lead completely during special time
Let the child decide what you do, how long you stay, and when you move on.
