* I consider how things might be in the future and try to influence those things with my day-to-day behavior.
* Often I engage in a particular behavior to achieve outcomes that may not occur for many years.
* I act only to satisfy immediate concerns, figuring the future will take care of itself.
* My behavior is influenced only by the immediate (i.e., a mater of days or weeks) outcomes of my actions.
* My convenience is a big factor in the decisions I make or the actions I take.
* I am willing to sacrifice my immediate happiness or well-being to achieve future outcomes.
* I think it is important to take warnings about negative outcomes seriously even if the negative outcome will not occur for many years.
* I think it is more important to perform a behavior with important distant consequences than a behavior with less important immediate consequences.
* I generally ignore warnings about possible future problems because I think the problems will be resolved before they reach crisis level.
* I think that sacrificing now is usually unnecessary since future outcomes can be dealt with at a later time.
* I act only to satisfy immediate concerns, figuring that I will take care of future problems that may occur at a later date.
* Since my day-to-day work has specific outcomes, it is more important to me than behavior that has distant outcomes.
