Could the Last Person You Texted Find Your Insurance Policy in Five Minutes?

Pull up your messages. Look at the last person you texted. Now imagine something happens to you tonight. Could that person find your insurance policy, your bank, your doctor's name, in the next five minutes? Not eventually. Tonight.

Most people's honest answer is no, and it's not because they don't have the information. It's because the information is scattered. One account lives in an email. Another's in a drawer. A password only they know. A policy number nobody's written down anywhere. It exists. It's just not findable by anyone but you.

This isn't really a five-minute problem to fix, but it's also not a weekend project. It's closer to fifteen or twenty minutes with a guided list: which accounts exist, which bank, which insurance company, where the documents are kept. Not the sensitive details themselves, just where to look.

The point of the exercise isn't the five minutes. It's noticing, honestly, how far from five minutes the real answer is right now, and treating that gap as something worth closing before it's ever tested for real.
