Tips & Best Practices

Aim for 5-10 items per checklist. Too many items leads to fatigue and skipped completions. Create separate checklists for different contexts (morning vs. evening).
Arrange items in the order you actually do them. This creates a natural flow and reduces cognitive load.
“Take vitamin D” is better than “Vitamins”—specific items are easier to verify as complete.
Instead of one massive list, create:
  • “Weekday Morning” vs “Weekend Morning”
  • “Opening Shift” vs “Closing Shift”
  • “Home Office” vs “In-Office”

​
Example: Morning Routine

A personal morning checklist: Setup:
  • Name: “Morning Routine”
  • Icon: ☀️ Sun
  • Theme: Warm orange
Items:
  1. Make bed
  2. Drink water
  3. 10-minute stretch
  4. Shower
  5. Review today’s calendar
  6. Pack bag
Daily use:
  1. Wake up, open Peanuts
  2. Tap items as you complete them
  3. See progress bar fill to 100%
  4. Tomorrow: everything resets
