![]() ![]() If I find myself working on too many things at once, I can see it and adjust as necessary. However, the "Working On" column helps me stay focused on what needs to be done right now. ![]() I'll admit this is a simple example and in practice, I probably have 20+ items on my to-do list. How this is helping me and why regular lists aren't helpful for me I can move the task I'm working on right now into the "Working On" columns and when I'm done, I can move it to the "Done" section. I continue to have the same tasks, but they are now organized into specific sections/columns. I have a few tasks and other than separating them by recurring and to-do tasks, I can't really see what I'm currently working on and what should be prioritized.Įnter the Kanban board. This helps you organize tasks and help you understand progress, and priority and identify any dependencies. Columns can be whatever you want them to be. You organize each card/task into separate columns and have them all placed on one board. Each task you would have on your list would become a card. Kanban boards are pretty simple, yet super flexible. They function similarly to regular task lists, but the manner in which they are organized helps me visually and conceptually understand and prioritize my tasks. If you're not familiar with Kanban boards, Todoist has a great explainer. So, I watched his video (linked below), got excited, reinstalled Todoist everywhere, and got to work □ Kanban boards baby And, this is where I found out Todoist now had BOARDS. While it might seem like overkill for some, the way Bryan uses Todoist to help manage his tasks to work with his ADHD made sense to me. The catalyst really came when I stumbled across Bryan Jenk's YouTube video on how he uses Todoist to manage his life. I've used Todoist before but never got 100% on board because I struggled to make it fit my everyday needs. But, there is a feature the Reminders does not have that my brain craves: boards. It works and doesn't have many bells and whistles, which is actually quite helpful because it prevents me from getting lost in the features instead of focusing on actually using the tool. Since my post, I have used Apple Reminders as my capturing tool of choice.
