Write, but Don't Deliver Your Resignation Letter When You Want to Quit

Writer Todd Henry suggests an alternate approach: write that resignation letter, but don’t deliver it.

The idea here is to take some time and really assess how you feel about your job.

Am I looking to my job to provide something a job cannot ultimately give me?

(Identity, self-worth, etc.)

How much of what’s in this letter is recent frustration, versus old wounds that haven’t healed?

How much of what’s in this letter have I experienced in other workplaces as well?

Are there any patterns I see within this letter?

You might also still find that you’re ready to get the heck out.

Either way, it’s a way to help solidify your feelings about leaving.
