To figure out whether a decision is good or bad, you need to know not just the things that might reasonably happen and what could be gained or lost, … - Annie Duke

Goals can also cause a myopia that makes it so we can't see other paths that are available to us, the other opportunities we might be able to pursue instead.

One of the steps to becoming a better quitter is to not accept "I'm not ready to make a decision right now" as a sentence that makes sense. At every moment of your life, you have a choice about whether to stay or whether to go. When you choose to stay, you are also choosing to not go. When you choose to quit, you are also choosing to not continue.

Be picky about what you stick to. Persevere in the things that matter, that bring you happiness, and that move you toward your goals. Quit everything else, to free up those resources so you can pursue your goals and stop sticking to things that slow you down.
