Congratulations on Revealing the Patterns of Time!

You’ve just taken your first step toward understanding how people think across time: Past, Present, and Future. The way we think is shaped by time, and this influences everything from our decisions to how we communicate and solve problems.

What does this mean?

Each time perspective represents a unique lens through which we view the world:

Past Thinking

Focuses on learning from experiences, valuing data and research to avoid risks and make informed decisions.

Present Thinking

Emphasizes stability, order, and practicality, aiming to manage current realities and maintain harmony.

Future Thinking

Driven by possibilities and innovation, it seeks opportunities and embraces change and creativity.

By understanding these patterns, you unlock the power to navigate relationships, decisions, and challenges with greater ease.

Past Thinking…

… gathers as much data as possible and is concerned with accuracy and truth. It refuses to take anything at face value or for granted; it needs to be certain and is continuously engaged in evaluating, validating, researching, weighing pros and cons, and judging credibility. Refusing to trust that “everything will work out,” it attempts to reduce the risk of negative outcomes. Above all it is reflective.

Present Thinking…

… seeks homeostasis and some measure of control over unfolding events. It monitors the surrounding world, assesses any changes in the environment, values stability, productivity, harmony, and closure, and respects existing rules and the status quo. It will do everything it can to follow through and honor commitments. It abhors chaos and confusion and is driven to establish balance and order, create structure, and get things done. It is primarily practical.

Future Thinking…

… is open to possibilities, seeks out new opportunities, and intuits what the future might bring. It is our source of vision, and it often promotes those visions with enthusiasm and energy, inventing new strategies and tactics along the way, and flying by the seat of its pants. It pushes the limits of what is known and understood. It is comfortable with change and ambiguity; it chafes when confined within a rigid structure. It needs deadlines for generating the motivation to bring something to completion. It is essentially imaginative.
