FAQ: Checklists

What makes a good checklist?

Good checklists are specific, actionable, and appropriately detailed. They should be easy to follow without being overwhelming.

Digital or paper checklists?

Digital checklists are better for collaboration and tracking. Paper works well for personal tasks and when you want to disconnect from screens.
