I tend to forget things. Although I never forget when to eat, I have been known to forget very fundamental things such as the need to bring the dog back in after taking her out. It’s a problem (sorry, my dog).
So when I am doing something video related, I like to bring a checklist. You know why? Because checklists are simple. They are idiot proof as long as you actually look at them. Here’s a primer 101 on how checklists work:
1. The checklist has a list of things to do.
2. If you do a thing, you check it off.
3. You keep doing things on the checklist until they are all checked off.
4. When they are all checked off, you are done.
Check that out. Simple. Effective. Idiot Proof.
