Something I found with these life reboots that is really, really bad for my personally is the guilt that you lay on yourself when you fail at "rebooting," completely. I'd go out and socialize with friends and have a good time, but beat myself up the next day because it was my day to do XYZ (budget, clean the fridge, whatever) and I didn't do it because I went out. I had to, and am still struggling with that, with being a human and forgiving myself. Oh perfectionism..
