Force Quit
When a specific thought, worry, or emotion keeps looping, you intentionally stop feeding it.
Dion Leonard Searches for Gobi in Urumqi
Force Quit is about stopping a looping thought or worry by refusing to feed it further. Dion Leonard had a potential spiral available to him every day of the search — the money, the odds, the job, the weeks with no results. But he had internally closed that loop before it could run. He says the question of giving up was never really open. He force-quit the "should I keep going?" cycle by treating the commitment as already settled.
