I think the present, as predicted by quantum mechanics, is blurred. Some parts of you get into the future before others. The present (the difference between now and then) according to QM is no shorter than the Planck time (the time it takes for light to cross an atom). But there is a coherence of your atoms (they aren't like gas molecules bouncing around) Aand they are bound in a coherent state. This is called your coherence length. So, using the same definition we used for the Planck length, I say that you are bound by the time it takes light to cross your largest dimension, nominally. If you are 2 meters tall, then 2 / 3.00x10e9 seconds. Or about 0.6 nsec.
