| Much like @muzani below, I've tried to apply checklists at much as possible after reading The Checklist Manifesto. It's a solid book with actionable advice and examples. For business, I have multiple SOPs, which are all effectively checklists: * My daily marketing routine, with what to do and links directly to where I need to go. * Monthly invoicing procedures. * How to perform my roadmapping service (send this, update that, schedule this, etc.) * Every README I write for dev projects will include a checklist of deployment procedures and how to update critical things. I'll also occasionally write down a physical "ToDo" list, which ends up being a checklist that I just go down. This is more for reducing executive function in the mornings, and making sure I don't forget anything. For my personal life, I don't operate off of a specific checklist day to day. Instead, I have an alarm app with absolutely everything I need to do each day, and when it needs to be done. I also rely on my Google Calendar for reminders. Ultimately, knowing what to do is important, but knowing when to do it is also important. |
