What this sheet is for

Write a routine down once so it can be photocopied and repeated, instead of being remembered slightly differently each time.

Who it is for

Anyone with a recurring routine: opening up, closing down, loading a van, packing for a trip, handing over a shift, setting up a stall.

How to use it

  1. Write the list in the order the job is actually done.
  2. Keep it to what matters — a list of sixty items gets ticked without reading.
  3. Write it once in pen, then photocopy the master.
  4. Record anything not done and why, at the bottom.
  5. Revise the master when the job changes, and date the version.

What is on the sheet

The layout is fixed at a size that fits both A4 and US Letter, so the A4 and Letter files are visually identical and print at full size on either. Rows are set at a height that an adult can actually write a date and a few words into with a pen — most printable tables are built in a word processor and never tested with one.
