A task I had been given by my therapist: to reflect on my own thinking. If I were to put it into a percentage, she asked. What percent of my thoughts were focused on a) the future, things that would happen or could happen b) the past, things that had already happened, and c) the here and now. I estimated my percentages as 90/10. Ninety percent on the future, and ten percent on the present. The part about the present mostly revolved around things like my back hurting, or if I was hungry, or drunk, or in love.
