    I wonder what a cup of tea brewed to those exact specifications tastes like?
  • I use a checklist for packing when traveling. It has saved me many times.
  • I have my Zombie Apocalypse Checklist pinned to my closet door. I'll post it sometime.
  • Almost every night before a day where I think I will have free time, I'll make a checklist of stuff I should spend that time doing. Otherwise, I'll get distracted early on in the day, and never think of the stuff I should be doing. Not only can checklists save a life, they can save time as well!

    Yaayyy checklist!

    Oh my god, did you look that one up when I think you did?
