Where to put a Checklist

[Tado]

Hey just wondering how other people are organizing the location of their checklists in their systems.

Currently a have a folder (in OF) called 'Checklists' and I've placed all my checklist in this folder. But I recently placed a few checklists along side my project lists. When I placed my checklists along my project lists, it kinda help as a trigger list.

Tried many things

I like mine in Evernote, after trying many other things over time. It's really just a matter of personal preference and there is no right or wrong.

Some checklists can be handled as subtasks in a repeating tickler, for example a weekly review checklist.

I have a templates folder in Omnifocus for standard projects that always have the same basic sequence of steps. Most of the checklists are in DEVONThink.

Couple Ways For Me

In Evernote I use tags. I use Evernote Notebooks by subject or topic which generally map to my Areas of Focus. Tags allow me to put my GTD thinking "across" these notebooks - e.g. Checklists, Action Support, Goals, etc.

I also have mind maps - e.g. MindNode maps synced in iCloud where I'll group some maps into a "Checklists" folder.

I've found the key is making it simple enough that you'll actually refer back to these Checklists occasionally or during the Weekly Review.
