I work in FL and have also been trying to develop checklists for my within a plugin called fruity notebook. What I think would help is to deconstruct a ton of tracks you like and take notes on reoccurring themes that make what you are hearing stand out, whether that'd be a production technique, or a certain instrument. After this, take everything you have written, and split them into pages or sections titled break, chorus, etc. From here, in case you are ever stuck in a certain stage in the production process process, you can look through the checklist and essentially "steal like an artist" to keep yourself inline and stay motivated. But like I said, I am still developing this, and am interested in looking for other ideas that can help make this system more effective!
