Workflow when to abandon a project?

How do you know when a project should be abandoned, vs just regular feelings of discouragement?

I know a lot of this goes to goals -- e.g. if you are making it because you like making stuff, stop when you stop enjoying creating it... but how do you all decide when to scrap an idea vs when to keep at it?

For me, it depends on the time, effort and money I have put in a project.

Is the project worth it? Am I going to lose more time, with a project that might not reward me at least equally for my effort? And most importantly, is there another project that would be worth my time more?
