Okay well I have always been big picture - used to day dream at school and always looked into the future rather than seeing what was happening right in front of me. iI am still a dolly day dreamer and look at the big picture. I so try to just look to the next meal and I really admire people who do that and stay focused in the now.
So what are you?
NB sorry about the thread title I cant edit it :sad:

Big picture or next meal - how far do you see into the futur
Sex God
Ohh God I think it varies on what it is I am trying to think about. Mrs Tweekys 30th Birthday for example thats still a year and 5 months away. Ive been thinking about ideas or surprises for that for maybe a year and the thought had crossed my mind even before that. With my self employed work I take things very here and now. I buy and sell and I have some stock right now not the biggest amount and do I have a clue what I am going to do for my next lot of stock? Nah something will turn up.
I used to always think 1 yr, 5 yr and 10yrs ahead. Plans for holidays, career, where i would see myself in x amount of time. I no longer feel like doing that and prefer the 'now'. I used to plan everything, have lists for this that and the other as my life was so terribly busy that my head felt like it'd explode if i didnt keep information on paper.
Life has slowed down, and boy its much much nicer. I've mellowed, no lists in sight (only one on my work desk) and i just puddle along at home and it seems to all work out fine now. Give me the moment and just let me enjoy that instead of planning eons ahead and have all the associated stress that goes with that.

I think I tend to have one eye on the future and try to make sure I don't do anything too stupid that would present unnecessary problems further down the tracks. I don't plan for it as such just make sure my decisions are consistent with my expectations of the environment I will find myself living in.
Apart from that I try to focus on the now and as I get older I more and more observe my adopted signature ....Regret what you do not what you didn't do

I plan far too far ahead in work, I'm not paid for the strategic stuff but my manager says I ask the questions or make the observations about 2 months before his manager has thought of them...helps me get a full time job done in part time hours cos I'v always thought of solutions to worst case scenarios.
At home... next meal? if it isn't a "proper meal night" there is no planing at all, open up the larder/fridge/veg patch and see what's in. This morning I had to do an emergency under ware wash cos kids and I had run out....
