getting organized is not new

Why Personal Kanban?

http://www.flickr.com/photos/giophotos/5042972239/sizes/z/in/photostream/

create personal value – manage tasks, work and goals better

We have had enough of productivity

Lets create value

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch,If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,If all men count with you, but none too much;If you can fill the unforgiving minuteWith sixty seconds' worth of distance run,Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!

~ “If” by Rudyard Kipling

you need to run with

Rule # 1 : Visualize Work

Rule # 2 : Limit WIP

When we promise work, we agree to juggle it

When we start work, we start juggling

Each new ball adds overhead exponentially

Even if you stop working on it, your brain keeps juggling it.

EXISTENTIAL OVERHEADthe cost in distraction and stress of uncompleted tasks.

Capacity is a horrible measure of throughput

A freeway can operate from 0 to 100 percent capacity. But when a freeway’s capacity gets over about 65%, it starts to slow down. When it reaches 100% capacity – it stops

Our brains are not much different

So-called “idle” time is vital for a healthy brain – and it is a misnomer.

Time when you aren’t forcing your brain to pump something out is when it’s doing background processing on things you “aren’t” doing
