Lead your team through this exercise during my Flight Cohort on @BalloonPlatform. You'll identify mission-critical parts to tackle first, create experiments to decide what’s worth pursuing, identify tasks to put on the backburner & build a project plan around these pieces.
I can guarantee using this framework with your team will help you make the best next move and save your team time, energy, and money.

3/4
Inflexible goals aren’t a good fit for a flexible world.
1/6
After we set a goal, it becomes a fixed object.
The goal becomes the object of our grit, instead of all the values expressed and balanced when we originally set the goal, even as all the inputs that led to choosing that particular goal evolve.
2/6
The conditions in the world change.
Our knowledge changes.
The weights we attach to the benefits and costs change.
In #QUIT, I outline the various cognitive and motivational forces that work against good quitting behavior. There’s sunk cost bias, desire for certainty, escalation of commitment, status quo bias, and endowment bias (to name a few).
1/9
I go into different mental models and frameworks to build good quitting behaviors into your toolbox, like thinking in expected value, increasing flexibility in goal-setting, establishing “quitting criteria” and contracts, etc.
2/9
I can’t emphasize enough how important these tools are — but it can be difficult to bring your team or company along as well, especially when collaborative settings add in a whole host of additional group dynamics and biases that work against good decision-making.
3/9
If you quit on time, it will usually feel like you are quitting too early.
1/5
Just as you can’t be 100% how things are going to turn out when you start something, you also can’t be 100% sure how things turn out when you are considering quitting it.
That makes it hard to quit while there is still a chance things could turn around.
2/5
When you are weighing whether to quit something or stick with it, you can’t know for sure whether you can succeed at what you’re doing because that’s probabilistic.
