Don’t Rush Your Checklist
I am a self-admitted checklist guy…
However, I’ve learned not to stress as much if not every item is checked at the end of a day or week…
The fact is that sometimes the desire for completion gets in the way of achieving the greatest success…
My need to check the item off my list often causes me to miss the best timing…
The natural tendency to complete can lead to less than perfect preparation…
By not waiting, sometimes I proceed without the best plan…
Therefore, I achieve a less than possible outcome…
Don’t misunderstand…
I still make checklists…
I think you should also…
But now I am willing to move an item to the next checklist if it means arriving at a better plan…with better timing…and greater success…
Are you a checklist person? Do you stress if your list is not complete?

Ron, I am also a check list guy. I even carry my check list on my iPhone. I learned a long time ago not to leave my fortune to my memory. A simple check list will help most people stay consistent and productive. Thanks for this great post.
