It’s not rocket surgery as long as you’re not racing to set a speed record for completing it within 1.7 seconds after reaching 1000’.

No it’s not hard, IF you have a better than rote understanding of the system and switches. If instead you just learned flows and that’s it, you’re gonna have a bad time, especially as PM, cleaning up flaps, called departure and punching a direct to onto the box.

Reverse C, check your duct pressures, and you’re good…but again, this requires some core understanding of the system.

Again you have until 17K until the APU can no longer keep up with the scheduled pressurization rate. I don't think the airplane will explode and people get sucked out exactly at 17K but I'm just a dumb line pilot and I try not to break limitations. I'm usually done with the flaps around 1500, calling departure around 1700, I'm an FMC moron and I can finish the after take off check by around 2000 or 3000 if departure sends me directly to SUMMA. So what's the hurry? At 2000' per minute we still have 14000 feet to get to 17K. So 7 minutes or so?

Just read and do the checklist and as @Cherokee_Cruiser already said verify the duct pressure matches what you're doing. Personally I like it when an FO takes their time accomplishing the checklist and verifying the duct pressure and the switches.

Whats wrong with doing everything in a hurry? Just try it from memory, see if you got it right!

I heard 178 people applaud if you get it.....$213/hr isn't exactly enough to mess with a checklist :)

I feel like I have to remind everyone constantly we get paid by the minute. Let's just slow down and do it right. No rushing today please.
