Make a list and check it twice

I have some obsessive tendencies and one big one surrounds any big race that I have.   I will pack my gear bag the night before and then check it about a hundred times before the night is over.  Again, one more thing where I say “there’s got to be a better way.”  And again, there is.  Make a list, check off each item as you put it in the bag and put the checklist on your bag to reassure you that you have everything.

But what if the only paper in your house is the backside of a Curious George worksheet and you can only find crayons?  Don’t fret, here’s a checklist for you, just print it out, check off each item, and then go to sleep without worry.  Well no worries about your gear bag, if you are like me you will probably be worrying about something else, like whether they have mountain lions in your area of Texas.
