Time sure does fly, doesn't it? Have you ever actually sat down and thought about all of your previous decisions? We make decisions every step of the way, which impacts our time. Have you heard of the saying. "Time is money"? It's not a lie. Our time is very limited on this planet and you don't want to repeat mistakes and lose that time. Time is very precious. Live in your time, not at someone else's. Let me tell you about something interesting. Time orientation. It's the way an individual perceives time and the role that time plays in their lives. There are four different time orientation. Past, Timeline, Present, and Future.
Each orientation affects the structure, content, and urgency of communication.
- Burgoon, 1989.
People in the past orientation often confuses the past and the present. People in timeline often confuses things that happens on the same timeline. Present people only lives for today without the worry of tomorrow, and people in future orientation always worries about the future. They think about every decision to make sure it won't affect the future negatively. Which one are you?
