I think there have been studies that say that that's how most people live. Thinking things like "Once I (lose 15 pounds) (get that promotion) (get married) (have a child)..."
And that it's better to live life focussing on the present.
I sometimes wonder if this is as good as it gets. I usually see, in retrospect, that there is a sign that my depression hasn't fully lifted. Because the rest of the time, I know that this really is as good as it gets, and that's not half bad.
On the other hand, I'm currently thinking "Once I quit my job..."
