Pause. Quit. Wait. (Without it Costing an Arm)
Recently, after several years of intense focus, thousands of hours of deep commitment, and sacrifices in personal health and wellbeing, I made the decision to quit my PhD.
I had built my life — really, my identity — around something I’d wanted for twenty years but had never had the chance to pursue. And then, in a moment, I went from all-in to all-out. It happened like waking up. Like suddenly getting a joke. Like one world ending with a snap of the fingers, and another opening up behind it.
It felt like failure.
Like I’d let myself down. Like I’d have to sheepishly tell people I couldn’t hack it. That I’d burned out. That I didn’t have a plan.
But I did. A strange one. A simple one. One that I think might help you, if you’re staring down something hard.
