Checklists. So many checklists. (Seriously, I feel like my life has a playbook ;)

Ah, but then you need to remember to make the checklist, and you need to remember to check it. If I get past the first step, I invariably fall afoul of the second.

I am much like you. I have no problem making checklist, but it isn't until days go by that I remember, "Oh shit, I forgot to even made a checklist!"

I have a folder right next to my bed. The only thing I need to remember is to grab the damn thing when I get up. I'll say it's a 90% success rate :)

But more importantly, you'll need to work on your assessment of "invariably". If you think all efforts are predestined to fail, they will. Get help if you can't do it alone.
