Knowing when to quit

One of the key themes I deal with in my book is how to know when to quit. Quitting projects is vital for productivity--we can't do it all, all the time. Sometimes tasks will need to be pruned. However, this is a challenge for just about everyone. How can we tell what's important to continue? How can we tell where we should put our time and what we should stop doing?

The Drawar design site featured an insightful article last week called Letting Things Die where it tackled those questions. It deals with the psychology of letting things go as well as how to determine what should die. Highly recommended!
