A few years ago, I published a podcast episode with a simple idea.

The right time to make major changes in your life is not the new year, but instead the fall.

This is when your energy is returning after the summer slowdown and when you're really ready to lock in on bigger goals.

That episode became really popular and in the year since then, this fall reset concept

has caught on within the internet community.

Some of the biggest names in podcasting and YouTube have since put out their own reset videos,

which I think is great for two reasons.

One, as an empathetic human, I like the idea in general to see people improving their

lives.

But two, as someone who writes and talks specifically about technology and how it impacts us and

how we should respond to it, I've come to believe that taking control of your life is a

critical first step before you can take control of your devices.

The more interesting you find your life outside of screens, the less interesting the screens themselves will become.

So here's what I thought would be cool.

Today, we are going to go through five of the most popular life reset videos on the internet at the moment. I'm then going to extract the best piece of advice from each, which will leave us with sort of five of the best pieces of reset advice out there. We can think of this as like an all-star reset plan. All right. So that's what we're going to do. So if you feel like you've been in a rut or like your life could be better, you're

worrying that you're retreating to your devices because you're unhappy with what's happening

beyond them or maybe you just need a little bit of inspiration this fall.

This episode will be perfect for you.

As always, I'm Cal Newport.

And this is Deep Questions.

Today's episode, the internet's best advice or reset in your life.

Okay, so here's the plan for how we're going to do this, Jesse.
