## Resource

Every time we upgrade our devices, we face a choice: migrate everything from the old one or start fresh. While transferring data may seem convenient, it also means hauling along unnecessary ‘digital exhaust’—outdated apps, clutter, and potential privacy risks. In this video, I’ll show you why starting from scratch is smarter for both your security and sanity and share some essential tips for setting up a new device. My goal is to help you enjoy a less cluttered, more private, and more intentional digital life. 00:00 Resist Temptation 00:41 App Bloat 01:50 Attack Surface 02:51 Switch Accounts 03:49 ID Tracking 04:17 Ghost Data 05:27 Habit Traps 06:17 Reclaiming Mental Bandwidth 07:14 7 Tips 10:02 My Thoughts on Restoring From Backup When people ask me questions like, how to restore from a backup, my answer is usually: don’t. Yes, there are costs to starting fresh; but there are also costs from restoring from a backup. By investing a bit of extra effort up front, you’ll enjoy a cleaner, more private, and ultimately more efficient digital environment—one you truly control.
