Even if you’re not the type of person who has a color-coded e-mail inbox and shops at The Container Store, you’ve probably felt the thrill of ticking things off your to-do list. There’s science behind why this is so dang satisfying. Accomplishing short-term goals releases dopamine in your brain. And hits of this feel-good chemical help propel you through the task at hand.

Since checklists help people do and learn more while feeling awesome and accomplished, it’s easy to see why they’re popular e-learning tools. Course creators use checklists to remind learners of on-the-job processes, track their progress, visualize what they’ve accomplished, and much more.
