Changing Perspective through Time and Volume

One approach the speaker suggests for managing stress and making better decisions is to zoom out and think about the long-term impact of a situation. By asking, 'Will this matter 10,000 years from now?' individuals can gain a different perspective and potentially alleviate pressure.
