A trigger-based rapid checklist is a memorized checklist that I execute rapidly in response to a specific trigger.

So far I've found it useful to use mnemonics to memorize the checklist. To do this, I pick a letter for each checklist item from which I can expand out the full checklist item. Then I try to arrange the checklist so that the letters come together nicely to form a good mnemonic. In the sample checklists I pasted above, I've included the selected letter for each checklist item in parentheses. For the morning checklist, the selected letters form the work DWEMSCAL, which doesn't roll too freely off the tongue, but is not too hard to remember. So every morning, when I open my laptop, I remember "DWEMSCAL", then start executing the expansions of each letter.

I have each checklist stored in a separate document. In the document, below the checklist, I record various notes, including notes on forgetting the checklist execution or forgetting specific steps. Documenting this helps me observe what I'm missing and why, and helps me focus on being more reliable on those fronts
