Note: This is an audio version of the inaugural Professional Development Brief. Usually, this podcast is only available to paid Community Members, but today, everyone is receiving it. Enjoy!

IoNTELLIGENCE draws on science and philosophy to help busy people achieve professional success, personal transformation, and lasting happiness in five minutes a week.

I’m introducing a new format for IoNTELLIGENCE readers today. In addition to the regular Issues and the Friday Brush Pass, the Professional Development Brief will deliver one vital idea to help you perform, transform, and flourish that you can metabolize in one minute.

It’s inspired by The President’s Daily Brief, a summary of high-level intelligence and analysis on national security issues produced by the Central Intelligence Agency for the president every day since 1946.

đź’ˇThe Idea:

Reading Atul Gawande’s masterful “The Checklist Manifesto” changed my life. Not only did I discover how airline pilots and surgeons use them to save lives, but I also realized the power of solving a problem once. Since then, I’ve advised my executive clients to develop this discipline (as I have).

The checklist is probably the most powerful tool you’re not using.

🏆 The 60-Second Shift:

Turn anything you do more than once into a checklist.
