The Power of Checklists

Checklists can be incredibly powerful in keeping track of critical steps and ensuring important tasks are completed. They serve as a reminder and can alleviate the fear of forgetting something. Checklists should be concise, including only the critical steps, and ideally limited to five to nine items. They can be used for both personal and team projects, providing structure and clarity. Checklists can be distinguished into 'redo' checklists, which are like recipes, and 'due-confirm' checklists, which serve as reminders to ensure tasks are completed. Implementing checklists in your system can greatly improve productivity and ensure nothing falls through the cracks.
