The 1/9/90 Principle Of Time Perspective

We cannot be stuck in the past, present or future time perspectives all the time, and have to be aware of how our mind works. To strike a balance, we have to be:

  1. 1 percent focused on the past, like spending 10 minutes writing a journal.
  2. 9 percent focused on the future, making sure to be fit and eat nutritious food.
  3. 90 percent present-focused, ensuring that we read, eat, travel, cook, write, sleep and exercise.
