Decide
Every unfinished project gets a verdict and one next step.
Printable systems for makers with unfinished projects
Every project deserves a decision.
Three printable decks that take your unfinished projects from a pile you avoid to a list you've decided on — then move them, then keep the pile from coming back.

How it works
Decide, finish, keep.
Finish
Name what blocked it, then work it one card at a time.
Keep
Four habits and a shelf, so the pile doesn't come back.
Finish
Complete it as planned.
Rescue
Change the plan to make it workable.
Rehome
Pass it to the right hands.
Release
Let it go without guilt.
Why it works
A decision for every project.
Know exactly what's next
Each card names one next step. Not a to-do list. One step.
Pick up where you left off
Rebuild lost notes with a sheet for every stalled project.
Pass it on with pride
Work you've fallen out of love with gets a tag, not a guilt pile.
Permission to stop
Some projects are finished teaching you. Let them go.

The system
Three decks. One system.
Start with Decide. Add the others as your projects need them.

- A 60-project master register, numbered and ready to fill
- Five craft registers — quilting, knitting, stitching, sewing, woodworking
- The decision path: four questions for when a project won't sort itself
- Next-step libraries for five crafts, so every card gets a real instruction
- 12 Finisher Wanted tags for projects leaving the house
- 8 release cards, sized to file behind the Release divider

Volume two
Finish
Unblock it, work it, get it done
Rescue sheets that name the blocker and rebuild lost notes, skill inventories for the techniques you keep designing around, a draw deck that removes the choosing, and a finishing handbook for the last ten percent.
What's inside

- Five craft-specific reconstruction sheets with the fields each craft needs
- The five blockers — lost place, missing supply, skill wall, broken plan, lost spark
- Skill inventories for five crafts: can do, shaky, avoid

- 36 blank draw cards, 18 bonus cards and 20 cut-out number tokens

This is for you if:
- You have bins or bags of projects you avoid looking at
- You've forgotten where you left off on more than one
- You feel a quiet weight walking into your craft space
- You keep starting new projects so you don't have to face the old ones
- You want permission to let some of them go
Nothing in your bins is a failure. It's just waiting for a decision.
