Welcome to Before Breakfast, a production of IHeart Radio.

Good morning.

This is Laura.

Welcome to the Before Breakfast podcast.

Today's tip is that you get to choose how you spend your time.

In many cases, you do not have to do things that are not paying off for you.

With the optional things in life, walking away is sometimes the right call.

Now, today's episode is a bit of a counterpoint to a recent one about how to stick with things. I know that many people start big projects and then

abandon them because they don't work practically with their lives. I think there are some smart

strategies that can make faithful execution more

possible. Of course, I also know that many people change their minds frequently about things.

This can be frustrating for everyone around them. But my hunch is that the people who listen to

this podcast quit things less frequently than average.

So today's episode is a friendly reminder that you can stop doing things if you want.

You get to choose.

For instance, if you start a nonfiction book that has got some useful information, but

you are pretty sure you've got the gist by the second chapter in, feel free to stop reading.

There is absolutely no requirement to finish.

You are not going to get quizzed on the book.

You are not going to get detention if you decide to let it go.
