If you peel off a sticky from bottom to top, it will be curled and not lie flat. If you peel it horizontally left to right or vs versa, it will be flat.
@@TulioSounds and I like to cut them in strips with sticky on one end. My to-do list is inside a blue non-hanging file folder, each item on a strip. I can move them around as they become more urgent/important and after glancing at it each morning, I know what to do today, and I put it away with no need to remember all of them.
Kanban is awesome. I think that with Personal Kanban, the problem is that you cannot easily determine the limits as your spare time can vary massively. The limits make more sense at work where you have a set amount of time available. Having said that, I just introduced my wife to Kanban and she likes being able to assign chores to the backlog and to discuss priority and I can move them through the workflow! Honestly, this is much less stressful than having loads of chores barked at you and you have to remember them and do them all!
Hi Mr. Sammotube. I hear you on the wife front - the primary reason we started ours at home was because of too many unmet expectations and things falling through the cracks. Communication and coordination improved dramatically. As for WIP limits, I encourage you to play with them and see what feels right. Some times you may want a lot more in motion, other times not. Size of work items matters here, too. A quick example: my wife was constantly putting way too many items in the Today column, and so she got discouraged at the end of each day. I suggested we count each day how many she got done, and the magic number turned out to be 6. We set a limit of 6 on her Today column and now she felt really satisfied at the end of most days. :)
I am using it via the computer....but I think I need to see it in a wall or a flipchart format. Seems like it needs to be in full view at all time for it to be effective for me.
The video is really good, It helped me to organize my paper work as special ed teacher, with this visual board I can have more control and understand where are my tasks.
Hi Gerry, Thank you for this useful tutorial. At the end, you talk about teaching us how to add repetitive tasks to the Kanban board in the next video. I can't seem to find that next video among your uploads. Can you please give me the link? Thank, again!

Gerry do you have any videos that deal with reintroducing the tasks from Waiting back into the Doing after resolution. As resolution times aren't predictable, I worry that this is where I run into problems with being overloaded in crunch times.
Dustin Ogan indeed, Waiting can become an overloaded bucket. My suggestions are to put a WIP limit on Waiting and order by the date they arrived, so the oldest are at the top.

downbntout Thank you!👍
also if you stick it vertically instead of horizontally it will stick a much longer time.

alternatively, pull it straight down 👍
Excellent video !! Great calm, relaxed pace
I know.. old vid, but I got a lot out of it. and, thank you for not talking about it like it's a restaurant model.

Thanks - I've been struggling to set up a personal Kanban board, and this was helpful!

Since Kanban was first from Japan, can we all pls say it as 'Kahnbahn'?
Where's the next part of this dealing with reparative tasks?
Isn't Waiting On column just waist
