French translation: cocher la case

English term or phrase: check the box
Bonjour,
il s'agit d'un texte dans lequel le personnage évoque une partie de sa vie.
Style assez familier.
Contexte direct : il évoque cette époque au cours de laquelle il s'est lancé dans l'écriture après avoir tenté le spectacle comique et bien d'autres choses.

But I also did standup comedy, I wrote screenplays, I’m an adviser on a popular TV show (more on that in a few months), I went back to writing more on finance. I still checked the box: am I creative every day? But I allowed myself to play with all the different ways to be creative. And I allowed myself to fail.

Merci pour votre aide.
