When I read the checklist manifesto I thought it was going to change my life. It didn't because I didn't put it into effect.
Then I thought it would be great if software did the work for me, including communal checklists that people can share with me. (Got a new car, here is a checklist template. Got a new house? Here is the checklist template? Is it an investment property, use this checklist. Oh, that is good for Florida, but in Texas, use this one.)
I found some software that is sort of close but nothing quite there.
Edit: Atul Gawande wrote the book so it is sort of tangentially related. I could make it more relevant by explaining how his checklists make him a general purpose leader or something, but I can't bring myself to do it.
Just looked it up.
It looks interesting for a company that wants to run a process.
I was thinking more for individuals, and note that the key is having people remember things you may not. For example, if the list has something like check your roof for leaks if its been 15 years or something you may not think of.
