If you've been around for a while then you know how much we love checklists. They can keep you on track, help you remember what you needed at the grocery store, and give you that little extra time in bed each morning. When you have a checklist that has been curated with thought, you'll find that your checklist will do a lot of the work for you. 

In this episode, we are breaking down our favorite checklists to create. We give each of the categories you need to consider and some ideas for the checklists to make for those categories. We also dive into understanding how to store these checklists so that you are more likely to use them. You might want to save this episode because it will definitely be one that you come back to again and again.
