Simplicity is good. It's not that you're stupid and you don't understand complexity, but your memory is fallible. My memory is fallible. There's nothing like having a simple checklist from step one to step two to step three to eliminate errors. Research has been done around the world hospitals where doctors follow checklists to wash their hands and follow hygiene protocol and end up with a lot fewer patients dying than those who already know that. So it doesn't matter how much education you have or how smart you are, for any important task in your life, write it down, treat yourself like a very basic computer, and go step by step by step. Follow the TJ Walker habit.
