“As a species, we haven’t evolved to plan 20 years into the future. As a rule, our decision-making is myopic, shortsighted, and lacks imagination. We’re heavily incentivized to seek rewards in the present, which can greatly cost our long-term Future Selves. [If you don't] think and strategize long term, [you'll be distracted by the short-term.] You’ll be caught up by endless distractions throughout your day. Your decisions will be myopic. You’ll cost your Future Self greatly, putting them deeper in debt in all ways.” DistractionDistractedShort TermDistractionsMyopicUnfocused MindUnfocused Book:Be Your Future Self Now: The Science of Intentional Transformation Source: Be Your Future Self Now: The Science of Intentional Transformation
