I have checklists
of all the things
I need to know
or do
or gather
for each type
of project.
I add to these checklists
during or after
each project.
For example,
I tried growing bell peppers
directly in the garden
this year.
That was a disaster.
The slugs ate them.
So I added
“Grow all bell peppers
in containers.”
to my gardening project checklist.
Before starting a project,
I’ll review the appropriate checklist
for that type of project.
In the Spring,
for example,
I’ll review my gardening checklist.
I’ll see
my note about growing peppers
in containers.
Do that.
And my chances of a great pepper harvest
will greatly increase.
Our lives
are already extremely complicated.
Make projects easier
by keeping checklists.
They will ensure
we learn from mistakes
and that will increase
our probability of success!
