Timeline
The way a person unconsciously organizes past, present, and future memories in mental space.
Most people locate past memories in one direction and future imaginings in another, with the present somewhere on the body. NLP distinguishes 'in-time' (timeline runs through the body) and 'through-time' (timeline is visible in front of the person) orientations. Working with the timeline lets a coach reorganize memories and pre-frame future events.
