Narrative:

On dec/thu/01, I was captain on a part 121 revenue passenger flight from dsn to cvg. Upon the flight climb out, after departing runway 31, I realized (after running the climb checklist) that the seatbelt sign was left in the off position for taxi and takeoff. At this point, immediate corrective action was taken to rectify this situation (the seatbelt sign was turned on). Upon review of the events leading to this checklist deviation, they are listed below: a quick turn in dsm to depart for cvg, and while running the 'turnaround checklist,' be disrupted by fueler, flight attendant. I realize how at the point of disturbance while running the checklist, I should have started over from the beginning of the checklist.
