Another cognitive innovation made it possible to compare potential futures. While other animals focus on the present, only humans, said Geary, "sit and worry about what will happen three years from now if I do that or this." Our ability to think things over, and over, can be counterproductive and lead to obsessive tendencies.

What is healthy here? I try to focus on today and sometimes doubt there will be a tomorrow for me since I came so close to death. This has caused problems for me like overspending. Should I worry about three years from now?
