But we plan for the future and take action accordingly. How many of your actions are rooted in just fighting boredom versus addressing future matters, after all? This does influence everything. It's sort of leading me to live more in the moment to the point of procrastinating on issues that I'd normally probably try to address more promptly...
Planning for the future has nothing to do with whether or not one fears death. And it's perfectly okay to live more in the moment, because the moment is all we have. The past is gone, the future is yet to come, you exist in the now. So go ahead, procrastinate a little! The vast majority of our problems are not so time-critical that an hour long walk is going to ruin your future. Treating yourself to a coffee and a donut every now and then doesn't leave you fated to be destitute in 5 years.
