Back: Back Up Important Plans, Documents, and Data
December 4, 2015 | Posted in Leading Hartfully, Living Hartfully | By Gaia Hart
Free yourself from the stress and worry over losing your hard work, your critical information, or your well-crafted plans. Create systems and methods to save yourself from accidents such as fire, flood, earthquakes, computer crashes, power surges, theft, unexpected emergencies, famine, or locusts.
Worrying about the possibilities of such loss or worse, after such a loss actually happens creates great stress and angst. Creating a back-up plan or strategy for saving your stuff creates an insurance policy and peace of mind. Have a fire-proof box at home, a safe deposit box off site with valuable documents or computer flash drives containing back up data and important information. You could ask a family member to keep copies of important documents and have a will and an estate plan in place in case of unforeseen circumstances.
Having a Plan B for major decisions just in case will free your energies to be put to better uses. What are your back-up plans for emergency contacts, travel situations, car accidents, natural disasters, or power outages? Do all your family members know the plans, codes, passwords, combinations, phone numbers, or hiding places of your back-up plans?
