I love aircraft, and I am intrigued by all operations that must be performed correctly to survive. When the stakes are high and tested every day, the process improvements are tangible and applicable.

A simple lesson to take from the professionals, is "Remove before flight". What are the few tasks that must be done before flying? What tasks are important enough that you must remove the red tag before proceeding?

I have an appointment with myself each morning labeled, "Remove before flight." It\'s a short list of the few things to square away before I begin the day.

1. Thank-you notes
\\n
2. Meeting notes updated from day before
\\n
3. Did I do what I intended to do yesterday? If not, why?
\\n
4. Do I know what I intend to do today? (should have been answered before leaving yesterday, but if it wasn\'t, the question must be answered now.)

Your list will be different, and I warn you to keep it short. I also have a list called \\u201cDo or Die List\\u201d too. It\\u2019s just one more way of saying, \\u201cThis must be done.\\u201d Even if I\\u2019ve had a rough day and lost control of my schedule, I can rest easy knowing I got the \\u201cDo or Die List\\u201d done. This list is very, very short. I do the 100 Day Challenge: podcast, blog, 1 set of exercises. I add or remove from this list based on what I\\u2019m trying to get done. So you have two checklist like bookends to your day: \\u201cRemove Before Flight\\u201d to start and \\u201cDo or Die\\u201d to end. Good luck.

And remember seatbacks and tray tables should be in their upright and locked position.

thank you, Greg
