Not a commercial pilot, just a private pilot. Check lists are printed sheets listing functionality visual checks essentially for all the controls, including radio, and engine(s).Everything is checked while still on the ground of course. Action, if any is dependent on what is found. It is the pilots (and passengers) lives at stake so the incentive to be thorough is obvious. If something goes wrong in the air there are other systems checklists to see if the problem can be corrected or offering solutions to get back safely to ground. In flight there are other routine checks carried out which usually are just reliant on the pilots memory to perform them, but again they can be life savers if something is amiss.
