S27 E1: “Quit: The Power of Knowing When to Walk Away” by Annie Duke
The Next Big Idea Daily
Why Quitting Can Be the Right Choice
Quitting is not always a bad thing. In fact, it can actually help you progress faster towards your goals. The problem is that we often quit too late because we fear uncertainty. However, if we establish criteria for when to quit in advance, we increase the chances of making the right decision. These criteria, or 'kill criteria', can help us recognize when persisting is no longer in our best interest. For example, if you're in a job without advancement opportunities, set milestones and commit to searching for a new job if you miss them. And if you're struggling with decision-making, it can be beneficial to seek an outside perspective. So remember, quitting at the right time can actually be a smart move.
