You’re very welcome. I just returned from holiday and, yes, I use a checklist for that, too!

I’ve never climbed (although my daughter loves the sport). But it strikes me as interesting that we’ve developed checklist “systems” whenever there’s a risk of injury. Shouldn’t that tell us something about its usefulness??

Yes, like you, I live my life by lists!

Good point about reminders and attaching dates. I just noticed Evernote has that function too, although I never used it. Time to put it to the test!

Aha. Sounds like a lot of my lists will be “do-confirm” – reminders, but most likely different each day, whereas “read-do” are the ones that are pretty much repetitive each time. I started making some lists and looks like I have master lists and sub-lists. I like it though, certainly takes a load off my mind trying to remember everything when I have more than one business or project on the go (I have consulting work, a small angel fund that I grow and manage, a book to publish, a personal blog, and family to manage!)

It does now, which is really nice

I don’t know if Reminders on the iPad allows you to attach dates to items, but, if it doesn’t, you might want to take a look at Wundnerlist, which is free and a really excellent tool.

Hi Bonnie, My “daily morning list” is a “read-do” list because it’s all written down and I put a little check mark beside each task after I accomplish it. My writing checklist is a “do-confirm” list because it’s so short and easy that I have no difficulty remembering it. Here’s how I handle that “do-confirm” list: I check in with myself before writing and ask myself “Have I done enough research yet?” Then, “Have I done a mind map yet?” And, finally, “Am I remembering to write WITHOUT editing?” All of these things are pretty second nature to me so it’s pretty safe to leave this to my memory. Does that help?
