I used to be an avid GTD follower (David Allen's "Getting Things Done"). The book was an epiphany for me, but the whole system can be overwhelming. I now just use three text files (for work-related planning) for a Kanban-like system:
* work due today
* work due this week
* work due this month or later
Every Monday, I pull work from the monthly list to this week's list. Then every day I pull work from this week's list to today's list. This allows me to focus on today, confident that I am not missing something. I can then ignore anything that doesn't need to be done until later. This is the theory, at least. ;-)
- gadders 10y agoThis is pretty good if you want an actual personal Kanban board: http://greggigon.github.io/my-personal-kanban/ http://greggigon.github.io/my-personal-kanban/ I use it for my to-dos at work.
- nextos 10y agoI spent a lot of time thinking about kanbans, only to realise org-mode can be very easily turned into one. And IMHO an outliner is much more flexible than a webapp.
- criddell 10y agoI also read David Allen's book and the one thing that stuck with me and made a significant difference was his two minute rule. If a task will take only a couple of minutes, just do it.
