Step 1 - Realize you are playing a game.
Step 2 - Figure out the rules of the game.
Step 3 - Play the game better than them.
Step 4 - Realize that you can walk away from the game.
Step 5 - Do literally whatever you want instead of playing the game.

In order to walk away from the game, you have to give up on the idea that you will eventually win the game. 

Perhaps even harder, you have to give up the fleeting satisfying moments where you make “progress” in the game.
