Protecting your digital life is easier one card at a time.

Your phone number, inbox, bank accounts, backups, and home network each need a little care, and a few minutes at a time is plenty.

This deck turns Month Two of my Digital Life Management System into cards. Each card holds one step, in the order of my book Accounted For, with short exercises on the back. Draw the next card, do the step, and set the card on your finished pile.

Download the file, print the cards at home, cut them out, and fold each one in half. The screen version and the phone pictures come with it, so the next card is always close.

Would you like the full lessons behind each card? The Digital Safety guide walks through Month Two in detail.

Where the theme comes from

Every card comes from Month Two of Accounted For.

Accounted For is my book on organizing your digital life for the people you love. It follows a twelve-week plan in three months: Organize, Protect, and Prepare.

Month Two is Protect. The cards follow the book’s order, through Weeks Five to Eight, so the deck becomes your plan.

The Digital Organization deck covers Month One, and the Digital Legacy and Estate Planning deck covers Month Three.

Meet the founder

Hi, I’m Ashley.

I have worked for more than twenty years in accessibility, trust and safety, and product research and design. I helped create many of the systems our day-to-day lives depend on: banking, payments, identity, and fraud protection. One of my roles was vice president of product research at JPMorgan Chase, and I hold a master’s degree in human factors and systems engineering.

I write books, teach, and build good products. Whatever brought you here, I’m glad you came.

Ashley

Before you buy

You have questions, and I have plain answers.

  1. How do I get the files?

    The moment you pay, an email arrives with your download link. Save the files to your own computer and phone. There is no account to create and nothing to log back into.

  2. How do I print the cards?

    Open the Print at Home PDF and print it on standard paper. Card stock feels best, and regular paper works too. Cut each card out and fold it in half, and the front and back line up.

  3. Do I need the book?

    No. Each card stands on its own, with the step on the front and short exercises on the back. Accounted For is coming soon, and the deck follows its order, so the two work beautifully together.

  4. How is this different from the membership?

    This deck is a download you keep and print, so you hold real cards in your hands. The Aha Moments membership is $5 a month, and it lets you play the Aha Moments cards online at havensmith.company/aha.

  5. Is there a printed deck?

    A printed deck is coming later. For now, the download lets you print your own cards today.

  6. Can I share the files?

    Play with as many people as you like. Please keep the files for yourself and the people you play with, and send friends here to get their own copy.

  7. Can I get a refund?

    Yes. Read it, try it, and if it is not what you wanted, write within seven days of buying it. A real person will get back to you soon with your refund.
