Time perspective

Time perspective refers to the way individuals view, interpret, and relate to past, present, and future experiences. It influences how we prioritize activities, make decisions, and assign meaning to events. For example, some people focus on past successes, shaping their identity; others prioritize living in the moment, emphasizing present enjoyment; while some plan intensely for the future, driven by goals. Our time perspective shapes our behavior and emotional well-being by guiding our perceptions of life’s events within these temporal frames. Understanding your time perspective can help you better manage priorities and foster a balanced approach to life.
