This assignment is a quick one. You don’t need any special skills to do it. All you need to do is make a checklist. Any kind of checklist. Typed or handwritten. Short or long. Simple or super-creative and whimsical. Whatever topic you want. For instance, you could make:
- A simple checklist with things you want to do (and experience) today.
- A self-care checklist with a list of various ways you can take care of your mind/body/spirit this week
- A before-I-die checklist with important things you want to do (or say) before you transition into the next world.
- A visionary checklist. For instance: a checklist of steps to end bullying. A checklist for running for President. A checklist for healing the oceans. A checklist for bringing more love into your community, country, and/or the world.
- A quirky, silly, creative checklist. For instance: a checklist for transforming into a mermaid. A checklist for building a time machine. A checklist for your first stand-up comedy open mic show.
- Or any other checklist you want to make.

PPPPPS. Here's the 3-hour music playlist I listened to while writing The Checklist Book. Eclectic, global, cool, vibey sounds. Very broad. Everything from Gipsy Kings to Radiohead to Leonard Cohen.
PPPPPPS. By the way, I'm emailing you waaaaaaaaay more than usual this week because...it's book release week! A special, celebratory time. Starting next week, we'll shift back to our usual schedule and you won't hear from me so often. :)
PPPPPPPS. You’re awesome. Thanks for doing weird challenges and completing tiny projects and making art with me. Enjoy the list-making experience. Have fun. Checklists are the best.
