Sometimes I write things I have already done or checked, just to check them off. (or in my case, fill them in - I make squares I can fill in) I have checklists and to-do lists.

But I have a question: are you talking about checklists, or to-do lists? Checklists, at least as used by Dr. Pronovost, are limited sets of do-every-time tasks related to, for instance, preparing a patient for a surgical procedure. Like a pilot's pre-flight checklist (see Stein's post referenced above), they don't change much over time, but rather remind you to cover the bases *every* time. I hear you, Michael.

The troubling thing for me is that they never seem to end. They just keep growing, with no end in sight. I’m a big fan of checklists – sometimes to a fault.
