How far do you look into your future?

Asked by cheesecakeattack (87points) February 8th, 2010

My history teacher gave a lecture on the difference on time perception between young people and older people.

On average, we tend to think as far as what we are doing in the weekend, or perhaps a month later. Older people tend to look farther ahead in their future, for example, he plans to be finished teaching in 10 years, but he didn’t relinquish any details.

I wish I could be like Paul Muad’Dib and see into the future. Sometimes if I imagine hard enough, I see my future as murky grey fog, at best.

I’m travelling overseas to Asia this summer, and I’m going to enjoy certain activities this weekend.

That is pretty much the extent of my time planning.

How about you guys?
