• What, exactly, was I doing on this date a year ago? What was I frustrated about and worried about then? Looking back from 365 days later, I had pretty much forgotten about all of that, much as I’d stewed at the time.
  
• Strategically revisiting your past puts the present in perspective. Looking back into mine reminded me that the day-to-day frustrations of life seldom register in the grand scheme of things.
  
• Sources: time logs, old calendars or emails, etc
  
• Truly traumatic events will burn specifics into the brain. But much of life is neither spectacularly good or horrifically bad.
  

We are often consumed by daily matters that just don’t matter in the long run. We don’t remember them with any specificity — even when we’re reminded of the day, the only memories that remain are gauzy, removed from the physical and mental annoyances of the moment.

• On the next frustrating day, take a look at your calendar and your emails from a year ago. Remember that these woes will likely be forgotten in a year, let alone over a longer time frame. Try letting them go now.
