Kanban is a visual system used to manage and keep track of work as it moves through a process. And it’s a powerful way to stay productive.
Use Trello.com (it’s free) to create 3 columns:
- To-Do
- Doing
- Done
Only ever keep three tasks in the “Doing” column at one time.
This forces you to:
- decide what you’ll work on now; and
- visualize the trade-offs between doing one task versus another.
Plus you get a shot of dopamine when you move a task to “Done.”
Try it out. It feels so, so, good.
