I Quit It episodes

  • Not a Whole Lot
    Between my procrastination and starting back at work, I have been slack in writing a proper episode. Here's a little something to hold you over.

  • Corona Quits
    As many around the world, corona virus brought with it a new lifestyle. For me this included restricted travel, a flourishing fear of crowds, and some new hobbies that have already been cast aside.

  • Procrastination
    I am notorious for my procrastination. I am prone to avoiding tasks until the right amount of stress has built up. This is not something I plan on quitting, and to be honest, wouldn't know how. But, it is something that affects my life. Does it affect yours?

  • Biking
    Summer holidays arrived and I thought a good way to get away from it all while getting the bike I had been eyeing for a while would be to ride that bike from Seoul to Busan. I ended up quitting, but I'm only kind of upset about it. The takeaways make the ride worth it.

  • Racism
    Quitting racism is a constant, ongoing process for me. Recognizing, understanding, and changing my own words and behaviors is one way to help change the system. This is where I'm at right now.

  • Running
    I have this fantasy of running along a beach at sunrise with a long ponytail flowing in the wind as the sun rises - it's BS! Running and I are not friends. Our relationship is a toxic one in which running keeps hurting me, I leave, and then it pulls me back in. This week I am joined by my former running partner (and husband) Scott to talk about why I keep quitting.

  • High School
    This week's episode is dedicated to all those who should be attending their graduation ceremonies right about now. Hopefully, my tale of quitting high school (twice) will be a welcome distraction, even if only for 20 minutes.
    24 min
  • Drinking
    Let's kick this off with something I am actually trying to quit at the moment: Drinking. This episode delves into the associations I have formed with alcohol over the years and why it is so damn hard to give up!

  • What's Happening Here?
    Shit quitters unite! Feel better about your own life by listening to me talk about all the things I have quit due to my severe lack of discipline and commitment.

About I Quit It

From the publisher's feed

While daydreaming about my next project, I realised that quitting has become one of my top skills in both good and bad ways. It is a skill I have honed since childhood. I have quit the usual: jobs, sports, instruments, friendships (ouch!); and some less common things: high school, Bible college, countries. If you need a little break from the stories of achievement, join me as I recount the things I have quit as well as the things I have quit trying to quit (social media and procrastination, I’m looking at you!). Hopefully, my failures (and a couple of successes) will make you feel better about your own life for at least a little while.
