One of my most notable character traits — a flaw or a boon, depending on the situation — is that I spend an inordinate amount of time thinking about the future as it pertains to the present.
In a personal sense, relying too much on thoughts about what my "future self" will want can lead to decisions that might seem prudent or the byproduct of good planning on balance but that detract from the ability to be "present" and actually live in the moment. My future self eventually becomes my present self, but by that point I'm thinking about another version of my future self.
