Great article. I currently have a checklist that I now live by.

Especially when one thing goes wrong that requires immediate attention, a checklist allows to easily pick up where you left off on your daily routines. especially at 5-6 am, coffee alone isn't always enough...

I also group my daily checklist with weekly and monthly processes. I Identify and track errors now by a high-level type to help identify problems like recurring issues, server issues and network issues unrelated to the databases but affect them.
