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.

What’s something you’d love to get paid to do, but you keep telling yourself it’s too late, too impractical, or just doesn’t fit the career you’ve built?

Maybe you have the salary. You have the title. People depend on you. And there’s still something you’d like to try, even if you aren’t sure what it is.
