The Importance of Understanding When to Quit

Quitting is both underappreciated and overrated. While having grit and never quitting is often seen as the ideal, quitting easily is also not advisable. The question then arises: when should you quit and when should you persevere? To answer this, the author created a framework that distinguishes between difficulty and misery. If something is hard but worth the effort, it's worth persevering. But if it's miserable and toxic, quitting may be the best option. This framework helps the author understand their own past decisions and provides a guideline for others in similar situations.
