Let’s be honest: getting your affairs in order for estate planning, legacy planning, or end-of-life planning isn’t exactly top of most people’s weekend to-do lists. It sounds heavy. A little uncomfortable. Maybe something you assume you’ll “get around to someday.”
But the truth is, when we avoid it, we’re usually not protecting ourselves from discomfort. We’re just deferring decisions to the people we care about. And that can make things harder than they need to be.
I started this blog because I believe in something better: timely planning that’s thoughtful, empowering, and (yes) even a little bit satisfying.
A Bit About Me
My name is Harald, and I’m the author of The Ultimate End-of-Life Planner for Peace of Mind. I’m a dad of two sons and a former tech executive. I’ve also worked for years as a coach, helping individuals and families navigate transitions, clarify their values, and make meaningful decisions for their future.
I’ve seen firsthand how much difference it makes when someone’s affairs are in order. I’ve also seen what happens when they’re not. Families are left with stress, confusion, and piles of unanswered questions. Important details are missing. Final wishes unclear. It’s heartbreaking yet avoidable.
That doesn’t mean everything has to be perfect or done a certain way. What matters is that the right information is available, and easy for the people you trust to find and understand when the time comes.
That’s why I created the planner and this blog. To help make that kind of clarity empowering and easier to achieve.
Getting Your Affairs Sorted: What This Blog Is Really About
This isn’t just a blog about my planner (though I’ll refer to it from time to time, because it’s genuinely useful). It’s about the bigger picture:
- Organizing the essentials so getting your affairs in order feels a little less foggy
- Navigating the logistics of life and legacy with a clear head
- Having the conversations we sometimes put off
- Finding ways to live with more intention while we’re at it
I’ll share:
- Personal stories and lessons (mine, and others’)
- Step-by-step tips to get your affairs sorted
- Useful tools and changes in laws or resources related to end-of-life planning
- Reflections on values, legacy, and life decisions that matter
- And the occasional post that just helps you take a breath and keep going
How Often I’ll Be Posting
To start with, you can expect a few posts each week. Some practical, some personal, some timely. Think of this space as a quiet corner of the internet where you can sort through the stuff that really matters, one small step at a time.
What About “The Ultimate End-of-Life Planner for Peace of Mind”?
The Ultimate End-of-Life Planner for Peace of Mind is the guide I created because I couldn’t find anything that did all of this – clearly, calmly, and in one place.
It’s comprehensive but not overwhelming, with a step-by-step process that helps you think through everything that matters – from legal and medical info to your digital life, key contacts, final wishes, and even personal letters to loved ones.
It’s not just a binder of blank forms. It’s designed to:
- Simplify complex matters without dumbing them down
- Provide clarity with compassion
- Be fully customizable to your situation (and pace)
- Help your loved ones avoid stress, guesswork, or painful confusion
- And yes — it even includes an optional digital toolkit to make updates or printing easy
I’m obviously biased, but I believe it’s the most thoughtful, complete, and usable end-of-life planner available. Don’t just take my word for it: you can read reviews here and judge for yourself.
If you already have the planner, this blog will help you get even more out of it. If not, don’t worry -you’ll still find lots of value here. It’s not a grief book. It’s a thoughtful place to get your stuff together in a way that actually reflects who you are.
