Minutes 1–3: find the routes

Search your password manager and inbox for the accounts connected to this area. Note which ones use making every route permanent, which have the right address lifetime, and which no longer have a clear owner or purpose.

Minutes 4–6: find the weak link

A disposable address can vanish before recovery, returns or warranties are complete. Look first for public addresses used for recovery, temporary routes attached to durable accounts, reused passwords and aliases that receive unrelated mail.

Minutes 7–9: make one repair

  • Estimate recovery needs
  • Allow for disputes
  • Extend before expiry
  • Make valuable routes durable

Choose the highest-consequence problem, not the longest list. Confirm the replacement before disabling anything.

Minute 10: leave a note

Match the route’s lifetime to the longest obligation in the relationship. Record what changed and set the next review for a natural event. Temporary should describe the relationship, not a guess made too early.

A ten-minute audit is successful when tomorrow is simpler.

Give the next relationship its own route.
