Time lag is real! There is both a "front-facing" time lag and "back-facing" time lag.

Backwards: The seeds you plant today you will reap down the road. When? Who knows - but it will likely be several months at least.

Forwards: Always being forward-thinking in your own mind creates a constant results-oriented time lag where your current reality will not align with your future expectations. And it's not supposed to! That is the point!

Where do you suffer from time lag, either backwards or forwards?
