**Not all checklists are flat lists of boxes to be ticked... see: Gantt Charts, Templates, etc.** Not all [[Checklists]] look like simple, flat lists of boxes to be ticked. Those certainly have their place, but sometimes you can fulfill the purpose of a checklist _and then some_ with these alternative forms of checklists: # Simple Checklist A simple set of boxes to be ticked. These are incredibly powerful. The more well honed a checklist is, the better. Sort of like: [[Small but Consistent beats Big but Sporadic ]], or perhaps [[Worse is Better]]. # Templates A template is essentially a checklist that includes structure and some starting content. Templates are great and should be used wherever possible to speed up anything you do repeatedly. [[Notion]] offers great template support. Look for ways to make a template out of your routine tasks. # Gantt Charts Gantt Charts (and, more generally, schedules) are checklists of tasks to be completed in a certain order. Their graphical depiction may be very different from a simple checklist, but that’s essentially how they function. **** ## Source ## Related - [[Checklists]] - [[A Good Checklist]] - [[Small and Essential Big but Inessential]] - [[Don’t Reinvent Things]] - [[Standardization Enables Creativity]] - [[Standard Processes]] - [[Affordances]]
