When Someday Never Comes: Start the Planning We Keep Avoiding (Ep 121)

In this episode of Surfing the Quicksand, Kathy Vines sits down with Wendy Buglio, Certified Senior Move Manager and Certified Professional Organizer, to talk about the often-overlooked work of planning for life transitions. Wendy shares her personal experiences helping her own parents and loved ones navigate end-of-life planning, downsizing, and digital afterlife organization, highlighting the importance of thinking ahead, documenting processes, and having difficult conversations. From tackling the procrastination that keeps us from organizing important documents to breaking big tasks into tiny steps, Wendy offers practical strategies for getting unstuck. She also shares insights into the tools and resources available (like the Nokbox and Five Wishes) that make planning simpler, as well as how to ensure that your personal and business affairs are handled if you’re incapacitated. This episode is packed with actionable advice, gentle encouragement, and relatable stories for anyone navigating midlife challenges. Key Takeaways: Planning ahead and documenting processes is key to easing future transitions. Start small: one conversation, one document, or one tiny step can break through procrastination. Resources like the Nokbox and Five Wishes simplify end-of-life and digital planning. Accountability and deadlines can help you finally tackle projects you’ve been avoiding. Recharge by leaning into your passions—like music, live performances, or other creative outlets. Professional networks (NAPO, NASM) can connect you with trusted organizers, even across the country.
