                The Science

                Why Checklists
                Actually Work

                01

                Reduces Cognitive Load

                By externalizing your to-do list, you free up mental bandwidth for deep work. Research shows that unfinished tasks create intrusive thoughts (the Zeigarnik Effect) — checklists close that loop.

                02

                Creates Accountability

                Visible progress tracking triggers the "endowed progress effect" — you're more likely to finish when you see how far you've come. Each checkmark releases a small dopamine hit.

                03

                Prevents Critical Misses

                In high-stakes environments (medicine, aviation, finance), checklists prevent catastrophic oversights. The same principle applies to year-end deadlines: tax extensions, benefit enrollments, college apps.
