What is Personal Kanban

Agile software and IT teams frequently utilize Kanban to help them prioritize work and provide:

• Essential tasks just-in-time.
• Foster collaboration.
• Lower waste in delays and irrelevant duties.

Although IT and software are the two areas where Kanban is most commonly employed, it can be used for anywhere. There is a workflow involving knowledge discovery or value addition. This is true even for daily tasks that can be completed considerably more quickly by applying the Kanban principles.

Personal Kanban is the name of this version of Kanban designed for individual use. According to studies, workloads and obligations to one's family are two of the main reasons why 80% of individuals, according to a study by stress.org experience stress at work. You may save time, increase productivity, and feel less stressed by adapting Personal Kanban to work for your household and workplace to-do lists.

• Completed

Prioritizing your Kanban cards may be done after they have been made. Labelling each as "High," "Medium," or "Low" priority is the most straightforward approach.

Next, decide how many projects you can handle working on concurrently. In a perfect world, you would only work on one thing at once. However, suppose you have larger jobs that may take several hours or days to complete. In that case, you could be comfortable working on two or three things simultaneously.

• Sort your "Do" list according to importance, starting with the most urgent items. Alternatively, you may decide to add a third column between "To Do" and "In Progress" or "Doing" that contains the list of activities that need to be completed in order of priority. Call it "Prioritized Tasks"!
• Establish a routine for regularly reviewing your Kanban board. Daily? Weekly? Depending on the circumstances. Set priorities in your "To Do" list. Think about DROPPING tasks! (Distribute them? Allow them to
