How to use Kanban to work in [emoji] the ToDo list
Kanban is a methodology that was invented at the Toyota plant and is still in use. Its basis is the restriction on specific statuses. For example, you can not take more than 1️ task to work, because you have only hands and one brain. You will work more effectively if you focus.
I decided that I would apply this approach in practice to my favorite ToDo List is Things. By the way, I highly recommend it as the best product of its kind.
There are areas in Things
The process I have is as follows:
— It all starts with [emoji] "Inbox", where everything gets in a row and once a day, I shift tasks from there to "BackLog";
— [emoji] "BackLog" tasks are prioritized: the most important at the top, and the most unimportant at the bottom. Every week I reconsider priorities and throw out superfluous and irrelevant.
—5️⃣ In "Next" is limit for 5 tasks, so I take 5 tasks from "BackLog" from above, as soon as I have space for these two tasks.
— In "ToDo" is limit for 3 tasks, so I move 3 tasks from "Next", respectively completing "Next" tasks from "BackLog". In other words, everything is moving upwards.
— I take one task from the Next to "In Progress". There is a limit for 1 task, so it is very important to deal with it only and not be distracted by anything else.
— As soon as I made the task, I put it on ✔️ "In Review", if I wait for feedback on it or move it right away to Done.
— At the end of the day, you can look at your ☑️ "Done" and evaluate how productive the day went.
Of course, there are urgent tasks that are wedged into the usual flow. I place them in "ToDo", moving one task back to "Next". This contradicts the principles of Kanban, where tasks do not move back, but so far I have not come up with a better solution.
Use Kanban in your personal work and become more [emoji] productive.
