How to stop worrying about things you won't remember in a year.

Think about what you were worrying about exactly one year ago today.

Can you remember it? Probably not.

Every day, we face a mountain of noise and stress. A flat tire. A messy living room. Kids spilling their juice all over the clean floor. A bad traffic jam.

In the moment, these feel like massive problems. Our hearts beat fast. We get angry. We let it ruin our whole evening.

But most of this stress is just a trick our minds play on us.

We treat every small problem like it is an emergency.

When you treat a spilled cup of juice the same way you treat a real crisis, you burn out. You run out of patience for your family, your friends, and yourself.

You only have a small amount of energy to spend each day. You have to protect it.

The next time you feel your chest get tight and you start to get angry, stop and ask yourself one simple question:

Last month, 48% of visitors to documentation sites across Mintlify were AI agents, not humans.

Claude Code, Cursor, and other coding agents are becoming the actual customers reading your docs. And they read everything.

This changes what good documentation means. Humans skim and forgive gaps. Agents methodically check every endpoint, read every guide, and compare you against alternatives with zero fatigue.

Your docs aren't just helping users anymore. They're your product's first interview with the machines deciding whether to recommend you.

That means: clear schema markup so agents can parse your content, real benchmarks instead of marketing fluff, open endpoints agents can actually test, and honest comparisons that emphasize strengths without hype.

Mintlify powers documentation for over 20,000 companies, reaching 100M+ people every year. We just raised a $45M Series B led by @a16z and @SalesforceVC to build the knowledge layer for the agent era.

Make Your Docs Agent-Ready

"Will I remember this exact moment in one year?"

There are only two ways to answer:

1. If the answer is YES:

(Like a big health issue, moving to a new home, or changing jobs).

This is a real problem. Give it your time, your focus, and your energy. It deserves it.

2. If the answer is NO:

(Like a burnt dinner, a loud noise, or a mean comment from a stranger).

Take a deep breath and let it go. It is a tiny bump in the road. It is not worth trading your peace of mind for it.

You cannot stop bad things from happening. But you can stop giving them power over you.

When you learn to ignore the small, silly problems, your life gets very quiet. You suddenly have more patience. You can laugh when things go wrong. You can be the calm center of your home, even when everything feels crazy.

Stop spending your mental wealth on things that have an expiration date.

One Question for You:

What is one small, silly worry you are holding onto right now that you can completely let go of today?
