Sometimes it’s enough to quit the browser, close the tab that’s acting weird.
Other times, you get to the point when you need to do a hard reset. Power off, unplug, count to ten, start up fresh. It’s the most reliable way to fix deeply seated problems.
And that’s what you need in the real life sometimes, too. A hard reset to fix non-functional patterns.
When was the last time you did a true hard reset? Stopped everything, unplugged, waited, and then restarted? Chances are, it’s been too long. And chances are, a lot of things would improve if you tried it.
