Fascinating and engaging.

This was my third book written by Atul Gawande, and while it was my favorite, it was still a great read. He is such an amazing author that it‘s very hard for me to not like anything of his. #AtulGawande #nurselife #TBRlist
Onto my next book! This will be my 3rd book written by Atul Gawande. A friend of mine lent me his books. I was told they are quick reads and he is a great author. She was so right. I have really enjoyed his books and I know I‘ll get sucked into this one just like the others. #AtulGawande #TheChecklistManifesto #nurselife #ILoveMedicine
Tackling the subject of how a simple checklist can help make complicated tasks more streamlined especially during a crisis.
An interesting read on how checklists have been implemented in the aviation industry and how the author has championed the use of checklists in the medicine.
Read for #nfn2020
This was a required reading for a class paper. I found the stories to be well-written by an experienced person in health care that would be easy to follow for readers without experience. The message of the clear benefits of a checklist resounds in many fields and even in usage with daily tasks.
I found the stories great to listen to on audio. Makes me rethink a good checklist.
My digital version of a #rainbowstack. With an obnoxious rainbow background just for fun!

So much to think on...whether flying, secure in knowing the role of the checklist in the cockpit, when walking past a building & marvel at the communication planning that built trust & shared accountability to get it made safely or thinking about what it is in a complex situation that really needs the focus. Way more thought provoking than I anticipated. Written well, lean prose that gets you in deep quickly and accessibly.
Final day of the #bookshopcrawl weekend...visited 4 local bookshops with my bookclub pals.... we brave the rain and wind, but found a roaring pub fire to finish the afternoon off with! Note to self.... don‘t listen to a podcast that recommends cool books just prior to going on a #bookshopcrawl !🤣
This is a really interesting look at the checklist. It‘s not what I was thinking. It‘s much more of a business book. I found some things really interesting. It‘s an easy read, the stories used to illustrate things are interesting. I enjoyed it and would recommend it. #diverseauthor #librarybook
#readharderchallenge - a business book
A fascinating nonfiction look at how essential check lists are in surgery and for pilots. I thought it was going to focus more on using check lists in every day life, so while it was interesting, I didn‘t love it. Side note, the number of errors (often fatal) in surgery is terrifying!
Survey is closed, responses are in and downloaded!
I will be doing all the matching tonight here at my cosy and dim desk 🙂
Thanks all for joining! We've 51, so I consider myself in 🙂

[Book 13 of 2018] I loved Gawande's other books and this did not disappoint. Fascinating how small things can make a huge impact. I enjoyed all the examples, from flying to hygiene to surgery.
I️ can‘t believe I️ waited so long to read this! I‘m starting to get in to #bujo and this book explains why and how listmaking works along with some cool real world examples. I️ can imagine taking some of the procedural suggestions back to my lesson planning. #teachersoflitsy
I feel 'book' and 'list' goes together. Today is National Checklist Day! I'm a big fan of all type of 'lists' and love ticking off items from my list! Want to win this copy, join this evening #MBSCChat. Details in the next post. Tell us, why do you use 'checklist'? Do you love or loath it? Happy Checklist Day 🏆🏆🏆📚📚📚#BookSwapPrize #GiveAway #Checklist
⭐⭐⭐⭐I guess now I can say that I am indeed a person who can enjoy a multi hour audio book about checklists. Found this very interesting, both for the examples and for the new perspective Gawande brought to the simple checklist.
I'll be spending most of August 31 travelling, so I will go ahead and declare my totals for August. Best book was the one I highlighted in my TBR pile at the beginning of the month. Gawande is the man!

I blame podcasts like Cortex from Relay.FM and Back To Work from 5by5 for my current and ongoing obsession with task managers and to do apps. I didn't actually think I would like it but it was fascinating to hear about different fields utilizing checklists to improve their productivity.
✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️ An excellent book. This has motivated me to review the checklists I use at work (I'm an editor) and make sure they are as effective as possible!
Dinner checklist:
✔️ book to read
✔️ delicious butter chicken (the BF's specialty, which I've photographed before)
✔️ my favourite beer, Murphy's Irish Stout, served incongruously in a Guinness glass (I need a Murphy's glass)

My giant checklist of books for August. The three books at the top of the stack are my current bus books.
#anditsaugust day 1: most anticipated
I'm enjoying this book so far.
Finally finished this today. Took me so long cuz it just wasn't as exciting as the rest of my TBR;) But I did find it interesting as he uncovered how important checklists can be, not only in medicine but aviation & construction as well. Those checklists can actually save lives. Don't know that this book is for everyone. But being a nurse, I was intrigued by a lot of his stories. 😊
Book Riot's deal of the day - an unexciting title, but a great read!
Extremely great if you're looking to create easier workflow processes with the medical back office.
