Peace of Mind Planner: Important Information about My Belongings, Business Affairs, and Wishes

I love the quality and feel of Peter Pauper Press products. This is no different. Well organized, thoughtful categories. There are sections I don't need (I don't have a business, house, or kids) because they're simply not relevant to me, but I think it's good that it's comprehensive. It helps you think of what kind of information you should gather, and keeps you from forgetting things. The print is kind of large, which feels like a waste of space to me. But, I am in my 20's and I realize the main demographic that buys this product is probably 3 times my age. So even though I don't personally like that about it, I realize it is a thoughtful feature. It has tabs (that do not sick out today the page) at the beginning of each section. It starts over at the top halfway through, so when opening the book you can only see the labels for half the sections. Of course to make them all visible, the first half pages would have to be smaller and lose space. Not a huge inconvenience, just being thorough. Overall, I would recommend this product. I can't really make full use of it at this point in my life, but it is very useful for helping me think of what kind of things to get organized. My husband and I have nothing had some family members pass and their affairs were a mess. It's a big stress on the surviving family members in an already difficult time. I also work in insurance and see people all the time who have no idea about their family member's policies. Those things have made me aware and even though it will hopefully not be necessary for several more decades, it does give me some peace of mind. Btw, it says to list who you've told about it. But because of my age I wish I hadn't done that and just made sure it would be easy to find.

Everyone should have one of these. It will save loved ones many headaches when the time comes. And you don't know when that will be.

The Peace of Mind Planner arrived quickly in perfect condition. It's made very well. The coil binding is sturdy and the paper is heavy. The categories are well-organized, and the fields are concise and clearly worded. The lines are wide-spaced and there's plenty of room for the user to add a lot of notes. The pages turn easily and lie flat. The user can initially skip around and fill in what they know; then, the remaining blank fields will prompt the user for what to do next. That sounds simple because it is. So this book is good for anyone, but especially for seniors, for people who are not computer-literate, or for people like me who need simple, organized prompts to handle the chaos of data that accumulates in our lives. The reason I gave it four stars instead of five has only to do with the cloying, chemical odor, kind of like glue. The odor may not be strong enough to bother the average person, but I am hypersensitive to odors, and would become ill if I handled this book for more than a minute. I'm not returning it, though. I'm keeping it because it is so well-designed and is exactly what I need. What I'll do is keep it in another room and refer to it as a template for making my own end-of-life planner which I'll do by typing up and printing my info and putting it in a binder.

Easy to include all personal info. in one place

Good product 👌

This lays EVERYTHING out for your loved ones

Someone recommended this book. I got it for my husband because we are getting older and I don't want our children scrambling to figure things out like we did with our own parents. It is very thorough document. Now I need to get another for myself,

Maybe I had too high an expectation, but this was a little too elementary for what I was looking for. Using this is better than nothing, but you may want to research other options before purchasing this one. That said, it is a good quality book. The cover and paper are thick and I really liked the lay flat spiral biding.

Peace of Mind Planner ~ this book is so helpful, and will be once we are unable to help ourselves or pass away as our family lives elsewhere so they will be able to find everything they need. Great idea and have passed this on to lots of friends.

What a brilliant idea. All your information in one place. Easy g go or your loved ones should the inevitable happen

Get this for those who will need to know your wishes. It's absolutely perfect, very reasonably priced. I'd suggest using erase pens for when your wishes change or information updates are required.
