We’ve all been part of projects that seem to drag on forever, making us think, “I just don’t want to do this anymore, but I’m not a quitter.” Here are five questions to help you be okay with the possibility of not finishing a project.
Five Questions to Ask Yourself
- Are You Afraid of Others Judging You?
Are you worried about people thinking you’re a quitter and that this will hurt your reputation? Remember, if you have legitimate reasons for not finishing, people will understand. - Are You Judging Yourself?
Are you saying to yourself, “If I quit, then I am a quitter”? Consider how much you tie your self-worth to your achievements and practice self-compassion if you decide not to complete the project. - What Are the Real Consequences?
Sometimes we imagine consequences that are far worse than they actually are. Have you considered the alternatives, or are you just focused on finishing? - Can Someone Else Help or Finish This?
We often think we have to do everything ourselves. Ask yourself if someone else can help or even take over the project. - What Opportunities Are You Missing?
By focusing on finishing one project, what opportunities are you giving up? If you decide to quit, what new opportunities might open up for you?
These five questions can help you be okay with the possibility of not finishing a project and realizing that quitting doesn’t make you a quitter.
Watch now to learn how to navigate your projects with confidence and quit when it’s time.
