Main Characters: Natural human behavior to commit to a goal and pursue it, and not to give up no matter what happens.  There is a bias against quitting.  (Quitters are never winners.)
What happens? People who invest in a company are more likely to ignore bad news and invest more in it, despite reasons not to.  Quitting is viewed very negatively.  Should be the other side of the coin.

"I commit to running a marathon, unless I break my leg."  

Quitting on time feels like quitting too early.

People get stuck because of: sunk cost, escalating commitment, ownership, your identity.

Find a quitting coach.  Set decision points.  Don't make them - then think about quitting.

Forget about waste - don't think about past waste, but future waste.

Learn from the ants.  Explore other routes, even if you have a source of food.

Goals are pass fail.  Use the "unless" clause.
