Why this topic matters
Our intuition is that quitting will slow down our progress. The reverse is actually true. If you walk away from something that is no longer worthwhile, that frees you up to switch to something that is more likely to help you achieve your goals—and you’ll get there faster. In this session, you'll learn why we're so bad at quitting and how to get better at it.
