Once in a while, in the middle of something, we may hear a little voice from within saying something like "That's enough", "This doesn't make sense any longer", or "It's time to stop".
And yet, even if the voice may be right and calling it quits could be the most reasonable thing to do, we don't, more often than not out of fear.
Calling it quits has a bad reputation, as if calling it quits sometimes would automatically mean that we are quitters all the time and that quitting is what defines us.
In reality, they are two different, separate things.
[While reading this question, your mileage may vary.
All is possible, from "Many times a day" to "Never",
but I like to think that the answer is
"When something doesn't feel right"]
Calling it quits can be a good decision.
Depending on the circumstances, it's about cutting losses, letting go, designing a healthier schedule for ourselves, setting boundaries, changing course, improving our time management, concentrating on the right priorities...
Calling it quits is not always about laziness or someone's character flaws. And yet, we are still afraid.
"When is it time to call it quits?"
