Hard Things Made Simple

Practical workbooks for the parts of life
nobody teaches you how to handle.

When something hard happens, whether it's a death in the family, a layoff, a diagnosis, or a move, you're suddenly responsible for a hundred small tasks nobody explained in advance. These workbooks hold the logistics in one place, so you don't have to hold them in your head.

What this is

Not a checklist app. Not a generic planner. A series built around the actual logistics of hard moments.

Built around real situations

Every workbook is written around one specific, well-defined situation, from settling an estate to negotiating severance, not generic advice stretched to fit anything.

Plain instructions, no filler

Each section explains what it covers, when it matters, and what to keep track of. No legal advice, no platitudes, no padding.

Nine series, fifty titles

Organized into nine collections so you can go straight to what applies to you, whether that's caregiving, money, career, or family life.
