How organised is your digital life? It matters for you and for the people who depend on you. Perhaps you often ask yourself, “Where did I save that?” Even if you are super organised, there will be a time when others need access to your digital information. That needs planning too.

What If You Could No Longer Explain It Yourself?

Imagine you run a business, and an accident leaves you in a coma. Someone on your management team would need your succession plan, along with login details for key systems and applications. Even something as simple as the office entry code might be essential for continuity for your business.

It makes sense to prepare for the unexpected at home and at work.

Organisation Matters More Than Ever

Our lives become more digital every year. Devices and apps multiply over time, each with their own passwords. Critical documents end up scattered across email, USB sticks and multiple cloud services. Sound familiar? Was that file in Dropbox or OneDrive?

Bring Order to Your Digital Life

You make life much easier for yourself and for your family when everything important is recorded clearly and stored safely. In an ideal world:

• At least one trusted person can unlock your laptop, phone or tablet because they know the passcodes.

• Key documents, such as insurance policies, are stored securely in one central place.

• Your wishes are clear and known to your next of kin, preventing confusion and disagreements.

• A trusted person can access your social media accounts to close or memorialise them when necessary.

• Your digital assets, such as cryptocurrencies, are listed and known to someone you trust.
