The Permission Slip
A pad of four slips that grant you leave to stop doing something this quarter — the Essentialism move written as a form. Each slip names what you stop, what that frees (so that I can), when it expires, and who is allowed to remind you. Unsigned is a resolution; witnessed is a permission. The tinted panel counts how many slips still have no witness, because a stop-doing with nobody named on it is the kind of promise the week quietly reverses. Use it before the calendar asks you to prove you are allowed.
