Five things to evaluate when thinking about quitting a project or job
Jul 22, 2018Ever struggle with figuring out if it's time to switch jobs, companies, and/or projects?
In this video, I share the thought process I would go through with a client on making a big life change.
For those that want a quick summary, here are the five criteria I use to help me evaluate a big move:
- Will this help me build skills I'll need for the future
- Will this help me focus on a few things, more?
- Will letting this go bring me more joy and happiness, or free me up to experience more joy and happiness.
- Will letting this go help free me to spend more time with family and friends? Will the new thing prevent me from spending much time with family and friends?
- Will I have a backup plan if the new thing doesn't work out? How can I mitigate any risks from ending this project, or starting a new one?
You can rate yourself on a scale of 1-10 on each of these questions if you are trying to decide between two opportunities. The one rated higher is probably the better choice!
I hope you find this helpful, and see you guys next week!
