Checklist and what it is for.

Checklist and what it is for. Checklist in kindergarten 1 slide Checklist 2 slide What is a checklist and why does everyone need it? A checklist is a list of important things to do, none of which can be forgotten. Translated from English, check means “check”, and list means “list”. Therefore, checklists are sometimes called in Russian "checklists". It makes it easy to understand when and how many times you need to do this or that action. Print out the checklist and put it in a prominent place so that it is more convenient to control yourself and mark the completion of tasks. Slide 3 Example: before departure, the crew of each passenger aircraft performs a flight readiness check. This procedure is called the "checklist" by the pilots. For flight safety, it is important to carefully check each item on the checklist and make sure that the captain and co-pilot check each other for each item on the list.
Slide 4 It is proposed to consider 5 points about the benefits of checklists Slide 5 Initially, checklists were used in aviation. With their help, the pilots fixed the order of actions during the control of the aircraft. Soon, checklists became popular in everyday life due to their convenience and a number of benefits. 6 slide Allow you to concentrate on a specific task. You dive deeper and more thoughtfully into the work, without being distracted by extraneous issues. They are fixed in the checklist and now you don’t need to think about them. Slide 7 Reduce the risk of failure In the process of work, we often get carried away and become less attentive. The habit of marking completed points in the checklist will reduce the likelihood of missing any of the steps. 8 slide Allow you to track progress. “I haven’t eaten sweets for a whole month now, I started running faster and drinking more water” - an example of progress analysis using a checklist. By systematically recording your results and achievements, you will understand how far you have progressed and what you still need to work on.
nineslide Save time Any work moves faster when there is a clear plan that needs to be followed - whether it's packing things for a trip or streamlining school affairs. 10 slide They are easy to use Checklists can be created independently in notes, in a diary or in any other planner convenient for you.
