Dedication and Your Future Self

This is an interesting take on how we conceptualize our future selves and how that related to habits of procrastination. In a sense we think about ourself in the future the same way we think about others. I see this concept unfold when I look at the level of dedication and hard work some athletes put into their off-season work outs. The fit, dedicated, and gritty players are the ones who relate more closely to their future selves. Whereas the unfit, procrastinating players imagine themselves during the season as if it were someone else. Which athlete are you?
