To add to this: I do the same. Actually checking the items off of the list is less important than having the checklist written down.

I started using a checklist when flying internationally. I got tired of forgetting the right plug adapter, for example, and paying $$$$ for a replacement at the airport store. Or having to find a store that sells cuff links.

I often bring two plug adapters, as there's always another guy at the conference who forgot his :-)
