Go all in and take on the full project, here. (It's worth it!)
Or if you aren't ready to put in that much effort...
At the very least, for your kids, do the 1-hour quick start accelerator plan below.
You'll be glad you did!
Legacy X Accelerator "Quick Start" (1-hour plan)
Step 1: Decide if you are going to record these on video or audio using your phone.
Step 2: Find a private space and close the door. Your car, hotel room, office... Whatever.
Step 3: Look into the camera or record audio answers to the 10 questions on the right of this page You have one hour. Keep each file under 10 min.
Step 4: You're done. When finished, label the files and upload them to dropbox or Google drive or put them on a memory stick, whatever you want to do.
Step 5: Then what? Ideas:
Write letter explaining what this is and stick letter and memory stick in safe deposit box/safe.
Or write email to spouse and include link to files with instructions (when I die, make sure the kids see these, etc...)
Or send them now to your kids! Up to you.
Step 6: Sleep better knowing you did this.
Step 7: Share this page with another Dad.
