Do you have one job doing all the stuff and another job informing all the people who need to know what you did? And let me guess…the pay sucks for both? Yup, you’re a KinKeeper! Let’s talk this week about how you get people the information they need to self-serve so you can spend less time in the role of household central intelligence.
If you happen to catch the post from last week, maybe you took a minute to jot down your circle of family or framily (friends that are like family) and what they need to know (doctors, appointments, medications, etc.). No worries if you didn’t…you’re really busy.
Once you have it, pick one person to start and set up sharing in KinKeeper by answering a few questions:
- Who needs the information? Click on the share icon in the profile of your loved one
- What do they need to access? For all the stuff, share the full profile; for only some stuff, share a custom access link
- What do you want them to be able to do with the information they have access to? Make them an editor to add/edit/delete, a viewer for view only access, or a contributor (that’s someone who can add stuff but only edit or delete what they added…so they don’t screw up your stuff 🙂)
That’s it, you’re done! Whatever you add in the future will be available to them. I’m realistic enough to know that they’ll still ask you first (at least for a while), but we now have a refrain in my house - from health information to passwords to all kinds of things only I know is: Is it in KinKeeper? If not, I can add it (once).
Add one person today. Take 5 minutes…Future You will thank you.
