Time perspective [how we divide our experiences into time zones unconsciously] biases decision based on-
- present momentary stimulation(hedonistic/fatalistic -gives enegy to explore),
- past memories(-/+ gives identity roots of person),
- future consequences(setting goals/transcend -reach new destinations, new challenges, cash on opportunities).
excess of each either ways becomes negative.
