Here's how to be a Timelord: Connect the dots in your own life;
  establish a relationship with your younger selves as well as
  your older self. Learn to see where the older self is giving you
  clues to your current self that you should be following.

  So, be aware of your past, present and future simultaneously;
  the future is trickier though. Return to the present as much as
  possible but never forgetting the past and future you's.

  That'd be my 1st advice on becoming a Timelord.
