Quit
You should quit.
But you should do it for the right reasons.
Most of us quit for the wrong reason.
We quit based on the present vs the future.
Most people quit based on the difficulty of present circumstances.
It's hard. Too hard. So we quit.
Instead, you should quit based on future circumstances.
Is the likely outcome of this work still desirable?
Look a couple of weeks, months, or years down the road. Be honest and realistic about the likelihood of the outcome.
If the likely result of your work is still an outcome you want - then push through and work hard.
But if the future prospects look grim or the likely outcome no longer matches what you want, you better quit.

That career path at a company.
That education or training initiative.
That data product idea.
Quit Now.
As soon as possible.
You have too little life and energy to waste working toward something you don't want.
