When worrying about things, assess them using the rule of fives - i.e. Will this still matter in:

Five minutes
Five hours
Five days
Five weeks
Five months
Five years

Gauge the right level of temporal impact and adjust your level of concern accordingly. Few things are as bad as they first seem once you've properly assessed them using this rule of thumb 🙂
