Time Period Perspective Survey

I am a Future Oriented person. I tend to look toward the future rather than live in the present. I analyze my decisions before I make them, to make sure that they positivley affect my future."Where you fall on the line between living within a past, present, or future time perspective (including positive and negative sub-categories) explains a lot about who you are and how much you accomplish in your life, as well as how you feel about where you've been and where you're headed."(Do You Live in the Past, Present, or Future?) I focus mostly on where I am headed, and I have a high concern for the consequences of my actions. I am also very goal oriented and don't take many risks.

I very much agree with the assesment of myself. I often get caught up in my goals and dreams. I focus too much on the future and never really in the present. It is true that I never really take risks and I often analyze every decision I make so that I don't regret it later. I put more effort into tasks that will help me in the future rather than the present. For example I often spend more energy on trying to plan for veterinary school rather than spend time on studying for classes I am in right now. It often gets me in trouble but I can't help focusing on the future because of the excitement and possibilities it holds.
