I think there's a big difference between "quitting" and "finishing up / wrapping up" in terms of walking away from something. "Quitting" to me implies "abandonment" or leaving before you're mentally ready to leave. For example closing a startup or product because of a lack of product market fit, or stopping a knitting project because you don't have time for it, but really want to finish it. "Wrapping up" to me means the thing has reached its natural end, and you're happy to leave. For the startup or product, it could mean you've hit your "one year anniversary" of trying to see if you could make it while giving your best shot. For the knitting project, it might mean you've found more fun projects (or hobbies) and you don't have time/effort/energy to pour into the project anymore. In the end though there's just a subtle mental shift to how you think about the thing you're working on, and really it comes down to your mental model, incentive, and amount of "closure" you've given it.
