You're framing this in terms of yourself, but the most important area I'd say appears to be omitted. Learning about problems not involving you can teach you a lot about what you should do. The knowledge of others vastly exceeds your own. I guess this might be past since you wouldn't hear about it until it happened usually. Future and present planning is best determined by past analysis, but the reverse is not true. You cannot learn much about the past from the present or the future. The present also will not teach you much about the future, but the future will help you with the present. This to me presents a hierarchy of past>future>present.
I didn't read this as being framed on himself just because his examples were using him as a running example.
I think the classification as such makes sense and can be helpful to even consider a more balanced use of time (whether on an individual scale or for deliberations of/for groups).
