Good checklists have some or all of these qualities:

  • Brief (rule of thumb is 5-9 items) (this is more critical for READ-DO checklists than for DO-CONFIRM checklists)
  • Big, easy to read type (use uppercase and lowercase text for ease of reading)
  • Few lines on each page (for most things best to be only one page long)
  • Lists the most important (and/or most often forgotten items), while not having to list every single step and possible contingency
  • Precise
  • Practical

I hope that this tutorial helps you create your next content upgrade. Just remember, keep it simple and people will keep coming back for more.
