EOL Docs / End-of-life Documentation

Documentation to help you manage my digital life when I'm gone/unable.

Why?

I was recently discussing with a friend about end-of-life planning. We talked about how important it is to have documentation that outlines what to do with our digital assets when we are no longer able to manage them ourselves.

I realized that while I had some documentation in place, it was incomplete and scattered across various platforms. I wanted to create a comprehensive checklist that would make it easier for my loved ones to handle my digital affairs.

What?

I created a checklist that covers various aspects of digital life, including:

• Online accounts (email, social media, banking, subscriptions)
• Password management
• Digital assets (photos, documents, cryptocurrencies)
• Instructions for closing or transferring accounts
• Contact information for important services

So here is the checklist:

• In markdown format: checklist.md
• In docx format, generated by the GitHub Action: checklist.docx

How?

I used Gitea to host the documentation and set up an ction to automatically generate a DOCX version of the checklist whenever I update the markdown file. This way, I can ensure that the documentation is always up-to-date and easily accessible in different formats.
