Interesting: In "The Time Paradox", two psychologists split our
   views of Time into 6 categories: - Past positive: focus is on
   the "good old days", past successes, nostalgia, etc. - Past
   negative: focus on regret, failure, all the things that went
   wrong - Present hedonistic: living in the moment for pleasure
   and avoiding pain, seek novelty and sensation - Present
   fatalism: life is governed by outside forces, "it doesn't pay to
   plan" - Future: focus is on learning to work rather than play -
   Transcendental Future: life begins after the death of the mortal
   body The theory is, that we all have little bits of each, but
   that we're ruled by one or two of these generally.* They have
   two short surveys on http://thetimeparadox.com - I took 'em.* Do
   I believe it? Well, the jury in my mind is out; but it's
   something different; and it makes its own kind of sense. I came
   up as: Past-negative: 2.70 Past-positive: 3.00
   Present-fatalistic: 2.89 Present-hedonistic: 2.53 Future: 3.00
   Transcendental-future Time Perspective score: 2.90 I feel more
   or less balanced with these; nothing overly strong, although I
   guess I tend to have a positive view of the past and I tend to
   think towards the Future a little more than anything else.* Not
   sure if I entirely agree with their two categories of "The
   present" - seems kind of limiting..* But overall, interesting
   just the same.
