Ah- checklists.
Some people view checklists as confining. Those who swear by them, find them freeing.
My view – they can be both.
Used effectively, checklists can be powerful take-charge tools, enabling us to do things like:
- gain better control of our our time
- help us make our goals and expectations clear with others
- give us a way to measure progress to goal
- give others a way to measure their own progress
All of which can be boosts for morale and productivity.
National Checklist Day is a good day to review them. Tweak them. Celebrate them.
