My reviews of past days are manageable again as dates more than 6 months ago drop out of my standard review process (a two-day-per-week window over the past 6 months and every day of the last month).
For these earlier months, I simply call up the image for the same date of the month as today. So after my standard review today - 29 July - I have gone through the images for the 29th of each month.
Jumping from month to month has become easier now that I have remembered the pattern: if a month has 31 days, advance the day 3 days, and so on.
So 29 July 2013 is a Monday. I know that 29 July 2012 was a day earlier, so Sunday. I know that 29 July 2011 was two days earlier, because 2012 was a leap year, and so Friday.
July has 31 days, so 29 August 2011 was 3 days later, or Monday.
August has 31 days, so 29 September 2011 was 3 days later, or Thursday.
September has 30 days, so 29 October 2011 was 2 days later, or Saturday.
October has 31 days, so 29 November 2011 was 3 days later, or Tuesday.
November has 30 days, so 29 December 2011 was 2 days later, or Thursday.
The images for these days often confirm I have landed correctly: 29 December 2011 was when we moved into the flat we rented for 9 months and I remember that it was a Thursday.
The map of my past since beginning this process is now familiar territory.
