Lately I've been trying to see more games through vs quitting when it isn't obvious that I won. I've found that most of the time I was giving up way too early and ended up winning games where I normally walk away. However, one issue that usually causes me to just give up is when I get DoWed by a few. I took a risk of attacking the religious block here (and waited probably way too late to start my attack) and got DoW'ed by two others. I think this game is still probably (easily) winnable? But I'm wondering how you guys deal with this type of 3 pronged war where your main enemies aren't an imminent risk (far away) and what was a nice commerce lead has evaporated due to delaying an attack and capturing of some nice cities way too long.

PS I play fast and basically don't micromanage at all. Happy to get tips there, but you could probably spend all day criticizing my micromanagement, and it might get boring for you
PPS I also don't play with barbs. Sue me haven't played with barbs since Civ2, fog busting/micro of scouts/workers etc. is not something I'm interested in doing.
PPPS In this game I've enabled tech brokering and vassals. Normally I play without the two, but started to try to be more "consistent". Haven't noticed a significant difference in difficulty, if anything I've found vassals on a fair amount easier, but you may notice some weird stuff in my play regarding trading etc. since I am used to no tech brokering which does lend itself to different trading dynamics.
