Jason Zook — Knowing when to quitRemoving yourself from the quitting=failure mindset shows you just how much more can be accomplished when you free up time in your life.
Letting go of something puts you in control. If a project or relationship isn’t bringing you value and isn’t working the way you want, quit it. Stop doing that thing right now. Take a deep breath, step back, and reflect on the time you spent doing what you were doing so you can apply it to your next big idea.
You don’t have to quit big things either. If you’re trying to get healthier, start doing yoga. If you hate it, quit it and try something else. If you’re trying to become a better writer, experiment with a completely different writing style for one week. If you hate that style, quit it and try another one.
Quitting shouldn’t be looked at as the end. It’s simply a step in the process. A step that should always be pushing you forward, not backwards.
