Good checklists, on the other hand are precise. They are efficient, to the point, and easy to use even in the most difficult situations.

Instead, they provide reminders of only the most critical and important steps—the ones that even the highly skilled professional using them could miss. Good checklists are, above all, practical.

Atul Gawande
