The Unfinished Projects Release Form - a permission slip for letting go.
Have you ever worked on a creative project for a long time, and realized you can't continue anymore? Maybe it's too expensive to finish, not fun anymore, or the moment has passed.
This two-part carbonless form walks you through the process of letting go of your unfinished project, but still acknowledge that your work matters. Comes in booklets of 10.
Instructions: After filling out and signing, keep the bottom form. Destroy the top form. You are now free.
Booklets are for sale in the online shop until Dec 16, 2025 ︎︎︎ shop.weirdsideprojects.com
