# Getting Started
=> .. Up a Level

The first steps to coming up with a plan can be overwhelming. Just remember, start small[1] and build up over time. Just a single paper helping is better than nothing. A single letter of affection could make the difference of a broken heart and rekindled resolve.

If you are lost, start with something you can do in ten minutes (and maybe a quick trip to the grocery store):

=> ../passwords/ Set up a password manager
=> ../documentation/ Find a large envelope you can seal
* Write down how to get into your passwords including one-time passwords
* Put it into the envelope and seal it
* Write “In Case of Death or Incapacitation” on the front
* Put it somewhere safe
=> ../trust/ Let someone know

Every once in a while, you want to expand on the details beyond just the passwords:

* If you have an idea that someone needs, write it down
=> ../review/ Review what you write on occasion and expand on it

While you are doing this, you want to figure out who can you can trust to do things:

=> ../trust/ Figure out who you can trust to help
=> ../support/ Figure out who can help your trusted folk
=> ../children/ Find someone to take care of your children and pets
=> ../financial/ Select someone to handle financial information
=> ../compassion/ Write letters and thank them, put it in your file
* Let them know what you are doing
=> ../notices/ Write up notices and post them various places

There is also a knot of legal tasks you want to get done. Thankfully, these don't require much effort once they are done, but you'll still want to review them occasion.

=> ../legal/ Get a will
* Figure out your powers of attorneys
=> ../incapacitation/ Find a way of handling incapacitation
