Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- I’ve started noticing my relationship to time is skewed somehow but I can’t name how
- I already know roughly which way I lean in time, and now I want to actually catch it week to week
- Even when I do have time, it feels thin and rushed
- Whatever I give myself a week for somehow takes the whole week, fussed over and second-guessed right up to the deadline, and I suspect that if I cut the time in half I’d just do the part that actually mattered and let the rest go.
- I’m hardly ever actually here
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
Briefly review each week for how much time you spent anchored in past, present, and future.
