🗝️Welcome to the Free Getting Things in Order Course for Everyday People
There comes a point, near the end of life or simply at a thoughtful moment in the middle of it, when most people feel the same quiet pull: I should get my affairs in order. This course exists to make that pull answerable. Its central conviction is simple and runs through every module: getting things in order was never really about paperwork. It is love, made findable, the gift of a family that can grieve instead of guess because everything they need to find, decide, and honor was prepared for them in advance, and of your own quieter mind once the unfinished business finally goes still.
This course teaches getting things in order pure and complete on its own terms, with nothing else blended in, written in plain, emotionally human language anyone can follow, whether you work around death professionally or have never once said the word out loud at dinner. It is not legal or clinical training, and no part of it replaces an attorney; what it offers is real knowledge and guidance you can use in your own life and with the people you love. Each module gives you clear teaching, real-life examples, and the practical substance this topic deserves, including the part most resources skip: the actual process, who to contact, where the forms come from, what it costs, and what to do with the finished thing. And every module ends with a simple practice so you can begin using the skill right away.
This course is self-paced click-and-learn, with no tests, quizzes, exams, or homework. Feel free to move through the modules in order or jump straight to whatever interests you most. There is no right or wrong way to take this course.

Who Writes Our Courses
Our free self-paced courses are a genuine human-AI collaboration, roughly 50% human and 50% AI.
These courses are not someone typing a single prompt and publishing whatever comes out.
We do not use a free or entry-level AI. We invest in one of the most advanced professional-tier AI models available, because the depth and accuracy of writing at this level is in a different league from what most people experience with low-cost AI.
While AI models arrive with extensive training across these topics, we never rely on that alone. Before drafting a single lesson, the AI performs in-depth research on that specific topic, pulling from resources written by qualified experts in the field: published books, professional essays, clinical resources, and articles from practitioners and specialists with relevant credentials. Every draft is grounded in that expert-created material, not generated from thin air.
With that said, whether something is written entirely by humans, entirely by AI, or by the two working together, errors can occur. We encourage readers to verify important information and consult a qualified professional in the relevant area wherever appropriate.
For those who would like more specifics, here is the six-step process behind every course:
1. Humans design the courses and set the teaching standards and outlines
2. Humans shape the arc of each lesson
3. AI conducts deep, highly specific research on each individual lesson topic before drafting the lesson
4. Humans review, direct, and run multiple edits alongside AI
5. Humans approves every lesson before it's published
6. Each finished course then goes to Eleven Labs, where it's recorded by one of their AI voices
We have poured a tremendous amount of time, care, and love into these free courses, in the hope that they help you become your best Self.

While we strive for accuracy, errors can occur, and users are encouraged to cross-reference critical information. The courses in our Death and Dying series are educational and informational only, created to help everyday people think, talk, and make plans around the end of life. They do not constitute therapy, mental health treatment, clinical training, or crisis support, and they should not be used as a substitute for professional mental health care. Nothing in this course constitutes legal, financial, or medical advice; the documents it describes are governed by laws that vary by state and country, and readers should work with a qualified attorney, financial professional, or healthcare provider when preparing their own.
Crisis Support: 🚨
If you are experiencing a mental health crisis, feel unsafe, feel at risk of harming yourself or someone else, or feel too overwhelmed to safely use self-directed practices, please pause this material and reach out for immediate support. Contact a licensed mental health professional, call or text 988 in the U.S. or Canada, or use your local emergency or crisis resources.
