What Should Count as a Good Reason to Stop?

Follow-through doesn’t mean finishing every commitment no matter what. Sometimes the useful move is to change the method—or stop on purpose.

When you take on a goal, what signal helps you decide whether to keep going, adjust, or let it go? I’m curious about a signal you can name before sunk effort or a burst of boredom takes over. For example: after a set review point, is the goal still worth the time it asks of you, and is the current approach giving you anything useful to learn?

What makes that decision clearer for you?
