This is just uh, Kanban. The ‘Personal’ part is irrelevant in practice. That being said, for both personal and professional projects of any scale, I’ve found Kanban with elements of GTD mixed in extremely useful.

GTD?

  Getting Things Done is a time management method, described in the book of the same title by productivity consultant David Allen. The GTD method rests on the idea of moving planned tasks and projects out of the mind by recording them externally and then breaking them into actionable work items. https://gettingthingsdone.com/ https://gettingthingsdone.com/

  Now that I’m more manager than dev, GTD is saving my butt. As a dev it never really worked for me.

  Where Kanban's main points are: - Visualise work flow - Limit work in progress Getting Things Done's main points are: - Capture all tasks/notes in only a few central places - Have a process for processing/reorganising these tasks Kanban's aim is to make it clear what's happening (and what's not being done). You'd hope to see why you're not finishing things which you're "doing". GTD aims to reduce mental load (the tasks/notes aren't in your head, they're on paper).

Can you please elaborate? I have found I struggle with finding something that works. I usually end up trying something g but nothing sticks.

I've been doing the same for the past few years. I started with GTD in Org mode, than switched to Trello and Scrum, but I felt that it wasn't enough and I started mixing the both in Trello. What are some things that you've learned combining the two?

Yes and no. Kanban's origin is in team practice, so most of the literature is about that. And I think there are substantive practical differences. A big one for me is that personal work items have a much greater variety in terms of topic, duration, complexity, place, and constraints. That means much less of a focus on standardized work and process improvement. And since Personal Kanban is personal, I've had to find different hooks to hang the activities on. In a team context, I can use collective rituals like a daily stand-up to force grooming of the kanban and awareness of workflow hiccups. Personal kanban is harder for me to maintain unless I use something like calendar alerts.
