However, it's worth noting that just because you didn't do that one thing on your list, it doesn't mean you're a failure in life. A checklist is just a rough guide. You can always delegate or delay the more trickier tasks too.

It’s a great book, but seems more aligned to “doing things correctly [preventing errors]” than to “doing things at all [preventing procrastination]”.

There's a subtle point in controlling process to prevent procrastination vs keeping a list of things to do in hopes that helps you ``know what to work on''.
Checklists are great at the former.
