You might try thinking of the Indicatives as I describe them to my students. As a short cut term, we call a form such as εποίησα “Aorist.” But the way we THINK of that form is "ἀόριστος ὄψις καὶ ἐχθές” (Aorist in aspect and yesterday, that is, in the Past time).” Likewise ποιῶ is παρατατική ὄψις καὶ νύν (Ongoing aspect and now, that is, in the Present time).
“Present” is a particularly misleading term. A “Present” Participle, for example, has nothing to do with the Present time. παρατατικός (ongoing, extending) is a fine term to add to your thinking about the Greek verb.
