After reading Parts 1 through 4 you have perhaps arrived at the conclusion that you too need to “live today as though you might die tomorrow.” If so, this last step has the potential to be one of the most practicable and charitable gifts you could give to the loved ones you leave behind (at least that is what I have been told by several people who have seen it and have resolved to do it). The essay on this website titled: “Creating Your Own WWH [Who, Where, How] Notebook” provides a step-by-step process that allows you to leave something of immense value to those you leave behind if you were to die tomorrow. The notebook you will create by following this guide will provide you with a ruthlessly practical 3-ring binder notebook for your survivors, identifying Where important items can be found (e.g., safety deposit keys, previously filed tax returns, passports, etc.), Who they should call for help (e.g., a trusted locksmith, handyman, sprinkler system repair, etc.), and How to perform necessary tasks (e.g., change a furnace filter, scan a document and send as an email attachment, make changes to investments in your 401(K) account, etc.), i.e., your own Where, Who, How notebook. Thus, this practical notebook will help you and your survivors navigate through the turbulent waters that we go through at the end of our life’s journey. You will be leaving behind a specific and practical guide for survivors allowing them to significantly reduce the stress of day- to-day living in your absence.
