Permission Slip Printables
six small permissions, for the days you can’t give them yourself
Six printable permission slips, for the kind of day where you need someone to say it for you. *Vol 01 — the gentler permissions: rest, slow, do less.*
6 slips · 4 formats each · 24 PDFs · ~1MB ZIP
What's inside
Permission to rest
Even if nothing's wrong. Especially if nothing's wrong. Tape it to the inside of the medicine cabinet.
Permission to be late
Even if you said you wouldn't be. The five-minute apology is a smaller cost than the spiral.
Permission to disappoint someone
Even people you love. They will survive it. So will you.
Permission to do less than you planned
Even when more is possible. The plan was made by a different version of you.
Permission to take a slow morning
Even on a Tuesday. Especially on a Tuesday.
Permission to begin again
The bonus sixth slip — for the day you fell off whatever practice you were keeping. There is no streak to break.
Print-ready, four formats
Letter and A4, color and B&W. 300 DPI for crisp local-shop printing. Each slip prints two-up — six slips, three sheets, signed and ready.
This is permission to do less than you planned today. Signed, with no expectation of return. Tape it to the laptop. Slide it under the keyboard. Read it once. Believe it once. The slip will be there next Tuesday too.
Who this is for
For someone who can't give themselves the permission they need. Borrow ours.
For you if
- You can't give yourself the permission you need — borrow ours
- You want a small printed thing on the bathroom mirror, not another app
- You'd tape one to your laptop on a hard week
Not for you if
- You want a productivity workbook
- You want a journal with prompts
- You're looking for affirmations dressed up as permissions
Why this exists
This is not a productivity hack. It's a small piece of paper that says you're allowed to stop. Print one. Tape it where the day gets loud. The slips are paper because paper is patient — it stays where you put it, longer than an app reminder ever will.
