Quitting Should Never Be An Option

We all get frustrated with projects to the point where quitting seems like an inevitable thing. But sometimes we just need to know when to stop—not quit.

As we've mentioned before, quitting is great when you can do it quickly, and if you know when to do it you'll save yourself from wasting time. That said—sometimes it's less about quitting a project entirely, and more about knowing when to step away from it. When you're overworked or burnt out on a project, you start making mistakes, and when that happens you're increasing the chances you'll quit in the long run.

It's at that moment that it's often best to just go home, but sometimes its good to distance yourself even further. Researchers suggest you take as much time away from a project as humanly possible. Even delaying the project is acceptable as long as it helps you to get your head back together.

 Sometimes, when you're sitting there pounding your head into a project you're only making it worse. When you delay the work, you're given the opportunity to put a fresh set of eyes on it and make it better.

You've probably heard a lot of people tell you to "stay positive," but being overly optimistic isn't always the best way to achieve your goals. Studies explain that it can actually cause anxiety.

While optimism can keep you motivated, it can also make failure seem a lot scarier, stopping you in your tracks.

If you get too negative, you might just create overly easy or realistic goals, or just giving up before you start. A bit of negative thinking, however, can reduce that anxiety and help you realize that failing isn't so bad.
