Forget using checklists as 'do-lists' and enacting them line-by-line or memorising them . Like da guppy so eloquently said: Pick a corner & work your way across the rest of the cockpit. Push/poke/flick or shove the relevent knob/button/switch & selector to the appropriate position it should be in for what you're trying to achieve. Then pull the checklist to catch anything you might have missed.
