How about just reading the checklist . . ?  It's cheap, user-friendly,
EMP-proof, automatically adjusts to every altitude and operates even
when you have power or vacuum failure!

I remember when I knew the Cessna 150 BEFORE TAKEOFF Checklist well
enough that I didn't have to use it, over 30 years ago.  I don't really
remember what my instructor said, but I've never forgotten that he
didn't point out what I missed, waiting for me to figure it out once we
were airborne . . .I remember what he said THEN!  I've never pulled that
trick since.

Heck, I have checklists for my ULTRALIGHT.  And I use them.
