For the most part I think people's time preference is probably heavily genetically-influenced and to the extent it's environmentally-influenced, it's pretty baked in by someone's mid-20s. Decreasing time preference through learned self-restraint is probably just not a thing. External incentives are required.

Environment - I agree. Genes - not so much imo
