Soooo agree but difficult to do at times. I remember reading somewhere an author said you donāt have to finish this book if it sucks!! Just put it down and walk away! It was a revelation like I needed permission to say itās ok not to finish if youāre doing something you donāt like, just stop now and do something that gives you pleasure š¤Æ
I started doing this in other areas of my life. Like watching a movie called the 10min rule. When watching a movie with friends-partner you give the movie 10min if anyone thinks the movie sucks then we change to another one. Itās very freeing!!
The sunken cost fallacy is hard to break. Iām going to remember the line āsmart resource managementā. Succinct and simple!
I started the Radical IFS podcast because I wanted to share my IFS work, but no one signed up at all.
Then I had to go to the hospital for appendicitis!
When I got back home after five days in the hospital, I realized the amount of effort it took me to upload and create all the summaries and information for the podcast was killing me.
Itās a project I really loved and believed in, but I needed it to be supported in some way ā with each podcast taking about three hours of time, I needed at least three subscribers to fund the support it would have taken to keep it going.
Quitting felt great!!
While I still have over 200 podcasts ready to be uploaded ā four yearsā worth of weekly and super cool Internal Family Systems work ā I put the project on the shelf for the future, when Iāll be able to better fund it.
Sometimes, itās just not the time for a certain project and killing ourselves to make something happen before itās time isnāt worth it!
This is soooo helpful! Iām going to give it a try. š
