I think due to focusing on the future, we miss out on today. Waiting for retirement to do something is a good example.

I don't know if it is a focus on the future though.
For instance, football training is for the purpose of having the skills, stamina and understanding to play well on game day. It is "planning" for the future. However, those activities are done in the present and they can be enjoyable because they have a reason to be performed. Without a plan for the future, no activity is any more valuable than any other activity. Having a coffee with friends, learning math, or banging the head against a wall are all the same.
At least many people do so here. They just save money as much as they can and delay things in life. It is not certain that we will live till 60s or later.
Yes, that is action without purpose. They don't actually think about game day, they just keep on training.
