Checklists for Getting Things Done

Checklists are an invaluable tool to ensure nothing slips through the cracks. To craft a checklist from scratch takes time, effort, and discipline. Using our checklists is a starting point; you can customize them to your need and focus on adding what is mission-critical from your vantage point. Considering the low price, imagine if the Checklist template saves you even an hour of your precious time?

As to why Checklists are a critical tool, here is a quote by Atul Gawande, the author of The Checklist Manifesto. We couldn’t have said it better.

Good checklists, on the other hand, are precise. They are efficient, to the point, and easy to use even in the most difficult situations. They do not try to spell out everything--a checklist cannot fly a plane. Instead, they provide reminders of only the most critical steps--the ones that even the highly skilled professional using them could miss. Good checklists are, above all, practical.
