Had enough of your boss? Ready to quit your startup? Want to leave your spouse? Thinking of emigrating?

Hold on.

Wait six months. If you feel the same six months later, then pull the trigger.

These are big decisions. Best to wait to see if “this too shall pass”. Whilst you wait, give 100% effort, make sure you’re not making a mistake.

But don’t wait forever, otherwise you’ll waste your life.

Give it your all for another six months, then make the call.
