How to tell your supervisor that you are giving up on PhD?

I am getting close to the deadline of my PhD studies but I have barely done half of what is required from me. I have no motivation, time and honestly the degree won't help me in my career. The best thing is to give up. How would you suggest I tell this to my supervisor?

In person with sincerity and gratitude. But be honest, you’re a person, your supervisor is a person too, they will understand if you tell them what you told us. They may try and change your mind but you know what’s best for you.
