A checklist would allow you to check off when you do one item and lets you easily see how many there are to go. I have a couple things that ask for 10 consecutives and I've lost track of how many I've done. To this I say that the challenge creator could have had better design of the challenge and add the checklist to that task. That way, everyone will have that checklist, and nobody would forget like you have found yourself in. But what about challenges where the creator doesn't know how many X you have? In these instances, no one would be able to have the checklist they need. For each time a challenge is created, I believe it is more often for a challenge creator to know how to creatively write their challenges to accommodate for most challenge participants with the power of checklists than it would be for a challenge creator to not know what to do to creatively accommodate with the power of checklists.

There are always going to be a small number of challenge participants for whom the challenge tasks as they're written won't be satisfactory. But I believe it would be more often that having the challenge creator create challenges that have already been thought-through and checklisted to take care of the work already for the benefit of the particpants than it would be that the participants have special situations that require an edit to the challenge for themselves.

Besides, in these small number of unavoidable cases, they'll still have the ability to write notes for themselves.
