You could do it when things get warmer. You could do it when winter is officially over. You could do it when things calm down at work. You could do it after things get settled. You could wait for permission, for an excuse, for help.
Or…or you could do it now.
You could stop putting off what you have been procrastinating. You could tackle what you know needs to be tackled. You could clean up what is screaming to be cleaned up.
As seasons change, as the clocks move forward, as new growth appears on the trees, there is room for other forms of renewal. This is the time, the Stoics would say. Right now is the time. Otherwise, we are, as Seneca said, the fool who is always getting ready. Epictetus, for his part, laid down a similar challenge: "How long are you going to wait before you demand the best for yourself?"
Everyone knows there are things we need to reset—to improve, to be better, to live better, think better. But maybe life has gotten in the way. Maybe you’ve tried but haven’t followed through. Maybe you’ve put it off, telling yourself that there will be a better time to do it.
But if not now, when?
It’s time to stop putting it off until later, waiting for it to just happen. Because it won’t. Someone has to take control.
That someone is you.
Forget the excuses you’ve made. Forget how rough the last couple of months have been. That’s what’s lovely about the idea of spring’s renewal. It wipes clean the winter we’ve just had. It’s a new ballgame. We’re only a few months into the year and we get a chance to start fresh.
That’s what we’re doing starting TODAY in the 2026 Daily Stoic 10-Day Spring Forward Challenge. It’s designed to help you refresh your commitment to your self-improvement, refocus on what’s most important to you, and renew your motivation. After a winter like the one we just went through, we all need a little push. We all need a little hope and a little momentum to get us going again—towards making every minute count and becoming the version of ourselves we know we can be.
It's not too late. Even though you may have procrastinated about signing up, you can still get your reset, right now. Take control.
Only a handful of hours remain to join us. Let’s get after it.
You’ll get 10 updated challenges designed to set up life-changing habits for 2026 and beyond.
Plus, you’ll be invited to TWO LIVE Q&A CALLS hosted by me, Ryan Holiday, where you’ll get an opportunity to ask me your questions and discuss the challenges.
Spring forward with me and thousands of Stoics from across the globe learning to live a life full of clarity and purpose.
