“A short pencil is better than a long memory”
Ask anyone who is successful in business and they will tell you; one way or another, you need a PHYSICAL list, of what needs to get done and in what order if you want to make certain something gets done. In aviation, that’s a checklist. Hospital workers use them and so do scuba divers. Wherever safety is involved, people use checklists.
Certain things must always be on a primary list for any business.
planning and review
file paperwork / tidy office
accounting
marketing research
business promotion
expand contactts
build / maintain partner / employee / supplier relationships
forecasting and testing
evaluation.
Or, from a pilot’s perspective
flight plan filed
clearance and takeoff
heading and course correction, winds
communication
weather and terrain awareness
alternate airports and routes
position check, arrival time estimate
destination, landing.

First get still, then get busy
NOTICE: ALL CONTENT COPYRIGHT PAUL SMYRES
Most people have personal goals and responsibilities they need to keep track of. Some of these are optional. But there are some things that by nature we need to do just be content and prosperous. One deep need is to be still, calm, at rest.
That’s when we fly in dreams, in our contemplation. In our inward flights we get perspective, see forward and all around us. It’s when answers come to our questions, and when solutions become obvious.
Personal checklist
meditate / pray
inspiration
planning and review
personal care
good nutrition
exercise
build / maintain relationships
kindness to other beings / service
increase skill or knowledge
maintenance – home, business
social activity
creative time / hobbies
rest
