The Checklist Book

Many people are disorganised and overwhelmed. They rely on digital tools (phone apps, online calendars, alerts, reminders, etc.) to stay organised, but all the digital noise (and excessive screen time) leaves us feeling drained and sick. Leaving almost no space for mental and physical health, quality time with loved ones, quiet time alone, time in nature, and other experiences that bring beauty into our lives. Here is the solution. Un-complicate things. Plan your day in a thoughtful and realistic way. Get back to basics. Simple daily checklist. One piece of paper. A pen. A clipboard.

A checklist you can physically hold in your hands, not a list on your computer or phone. A checklist is one of the world's oldest, simplest, and best productivity systems, dating all the way back to the Roman Empire. Just like our modern culture has rediscovered yoga, it's time to rediscover...the art of the checklist! Start each day feeling calm, optimistic, and confident about what's on your list. End each day feeling proud of what you've accomplished. The Checklist Book will change your life.
