Today we talk about a safe means "not to forget" - check-lists.

What is a checklist?

This set some action to be performed. Or items that you want to take. Plus notes, diagrams, tips.

The meaning of the check-list - do not make a mistake. Avoid force majeure and hassle. Get the whole routine of the head and to pass it on paper.

Professional checklists

Checklists have come to us from the air. There's the cost of failure - hundreds of human lives.

Any pilot knows by heart what he needed to do before takeoff. Nevertheless, all the pilots chased by a special checklist. In this one checks, and the second - checks as check first.

Checklists are used in construction, medicine, and other areas where mistakes are not allowed.

Checklists in my life

I discovered them for himself recently. Now I do not know how to do without them all this time.

Things that I take to soccer practice:

And this is my checklist monthly vehicle checks:

In the event of assignment:

Because each trip has its own characteristics, then this check-list - just a template, which I add something or deleted.

This is my checklist for writing articles for your blog:

Everything here is: how to collect ideas, text editing, design and promotion.

Note that there are a lot of supporting information. Here, for example, an indication of what size should be pictures in a particular case:

And here's my checklist for backup and clean your computer:

I am doing it once every two weeks.

All this constant checklists. Sometimes I create a check-list for some one-time event. For example, if you plan to leave.

How to make a check-list?

1. Shorten. This is not an essay. It's just a bunch of points. Clarity of language! Simple dictionary! The task - to even a cursory glance you capture the essence.
2. Removes unnecessary. Include only what you can forget. For example, in the check-list by writing articles there is no item "Turn on the Notebook." I'll do it without reminders.
3. Highlight important. Kapslok or bold. The main thing - do not overdo it. One or two precipitates onto the sheet sufficiently.
4. Permanently edit. Checklist to be relevant. You saw my edits pencil? Here. When the edits becomes much, I print a check list again.

Where to store?

On paper, the smartphone in Evernote... Where you want.

You can even apply the checklist on the right thing. For example, I previously used on a laptop stickers. But it did not stick))

in total

Checklists - it's easy and convenient. This will save you a lot of time. And nerves.

Why not talk about it at school? Rather silly moralistic type: "And you have not forgotten your head?".
