Mind's perspective bias - Where does our mind like to focus?

Research shows, when we just let our mind wander, it goes to 3 main places: past, present, & future.

But we think of the past only 12% the time (in that too we are often recalling ideas), 28% we think of present, and thoughts of the future takes up 48% of the time. The remaining 12% occupies ideas not rooted in time.

It's called the mind's perspective bias.

That's why we usually plan out the day essentially before it even begins - "what needs to get done today?".
