Getting stuff done with Kanban

This video introduces you to the Japanese task management tool Kanban. It's a simple, ADHD-friendly tool which develops your decision-making skills and focuses on your work (rather than all those tasks which need doing one day...)

So glad you enjoyed- it really can be very flexibly used (using headers which are meaningful to you is good too...)

I'm going to try this! Can I ask what did your headings mean? Ready..... Backlog...... Today.?

Hi Rachel, the three main categories of Kanban are: 1 Things you haven't done yet = 'COULD DOs' 2. The things you are focussing on RIGHT now = DOING 3. The things you already did = DONEs
You can expand the 'COULD DOs' in any way that suits you. (Backlog could be stuff you don't want to forget, but isn't urgent; READY could be the next set of priorities; TODAY could be your list for today.) But this is the bit you need to tweak to fit you...
Nowadays I have a variety of vertical column headers on the left for all of my COULD DOs - categorised into projects (Eg BLOGS I want to write / CLIENTS I need to get in contact with / WORKSHOPS I'm developing etc Essentially that's where I capture everything I might do some day. Then I have a THIS WEEK column, next to DOING/ DONE. Things move from left to the right side; from the project headers across to the board to THIS WEEK, > DOING, > DONE (I empty DONEs at the end of the week.
