What Should You Quit Doing?

As we move into a new year, most of my clients are planning to add more—more goals, more tasks, more pressure.

But maybe the real growth comes from letting go.

So I’ll ask you:

👉 What should you quit doing?

Not in a burnout-fueled, “I’m done with everything” kind of way.

But in a thoughtful, strategic way that clears space for what matters most.

Here are a few places to look:

🛑 Relationships

  • Toxic friendships

  • Unproductive dating dynamics

  • Employers or clients who drain you

  • Team members who are no longer a fit

🛑 Habits

  • Late-night scrolling

  • News binging

  • Defaulting to social media or distractions

🛑 Work Activities

  • Marketing efforts that aren’t working

  • Busywork disguised as productivity

  • Workouts that don’t align with your goals

You don’t need to add more to make progress.
Sometimes, quitting the right things is the most powerful move you can make.

Why Most People Wait Until They Have No Choice

12.7. That’s the average number of jobs Americans born between 1957 and 1964 held by their mid-50s, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. But the interesting part isn’t the number — it’s that almost none of those changes came from a master plan. Life happened: a layoff, a new boss, a better opportunity, a move. Which raises the real question: why do we wait for life to change before we change ourselves?
