An unfinished project sits in a folder you keep moving to each new computer. You invested time in it and feel that you should finish. Yet the reason you began may no longer matter, and the remaining work keeps displacing things you want to do now.
Read the last version and write down what finishing would give you today. Then describe what remains, including the parts you have avoided. Compare that work with the use you expect to make of the result.
Choose a clear status
You can finish a smaller version, save the work for a specific future need or close the project. Give the chosen option a practical next step. An archive needs a label explaining what is inside; a smaller version needs an actual finish line.
Keep any material you may reasonably reuse, but remove the project from the active list if you are not working on it. You can recognise the effort already spent without reserving another month for a result you no longer need.
