I quit.

I decline. I choose not to go. To not participate. Refuse to partake. I’m not in. I’m very much out. I’m saying NO.

I’m Bartleby the motherfucking Scrivener.

Sure, saying NO is something we all know is important in the world of design. But quitting is a skill required I didn’t really ever expect to be so important. I’ve utilized it several times in the past couple years in ways that have been extremely beneficial in the long term, even if that meant in the short I felt apprehensive and/or terrible about the idea.

Quitting has delivered. Big time.
