Recalling the Past Gives a Boost for Today
Have you ever wished for a simple way to revisit your memories from years gone by—just to see how far you’ve come? MyWorld’s “This Day, That Age” feature does exactly that, surfacing entries you made on the same date in past years. It’s like a time machine for your own life.
Why We Forget What Matters
Day to day, we’re so busy with tasks—big and small—that we rarely pause to record them. They don’t feel important at the moment, so we skip logging them. But then life throws us a curveball: an illness, a relocation, or simply a moment of nostalgia—and suddenly we wish we had a record of all those little victories and everyday moments.
How “This Day, That Age” Works
In MyWorld, navigate to the Review tab and select This Day, That Age. Pick today’s date—say, April 6—and the app will show you every journal entry you made on April 6 in previous years. Whether it’s a note about a work achievement in 2003 or a family outing in 2019, it’s all there in chronological order.

A Journey Through My Own History
I began using MyWorld back in 2003—back then under its Windows incarnation called Extended Memory. When the mobile app launched, I imported all those old entries, creating a seamless archive that stretches over two decades.
- 2003: Late‑night work on bank‑client data, troubleshooting USB hard disk connections.
- 2008: Celebrated a major project launch with my team—something I’d almost forgotten until it popped up again.
- 2015: Documented my first marathon, complete with time splits and photos.
Each entry is a snapshot of my life at that moment, and seeing them lined up on the same calendar date gives me perspective, gratitude, and motivation.
The Power of Reconnection
Beyond personal reflection, “This Day, That Age” helps me reconnect with people involved in those memories. If I see an entry about a meeting with an old colleague, I can reach out and say, “Remember this day ten years ago?” It sparks conversations and rekindles relationships.
Boost Your Today with Yesterday’s Lessons
By revisiting past successes, challenges, and everyday moments, I gain insights that fuel my present. A task I thought trivial in 2006 might remind me of a habit worth reviving today. A lesson learned in 2012 can guide a decision I’m making now.
In short, MyWorld’s “This Day, That Age” feature isn’t just nostalgia—it’s a productivity and wellness tool. It reminds us that our history is a rich resource, one we can mine to live more intentionally today.
Try It Yourself
