What is Kanban?
Kanban is a tool to visualize, organize, and complete
work
Started in Toyota (Japan) in the 20th century
Literally means Signboard/Billboard in Japanese
Works great with other agile methodologies (e.g.
Scrum)
What is Personal Kanban?
Personal Kaban is a simple way to visualize and control
your work
It can easily be used in personal stuff just like Kanban
can be used in organizations
Two golden rules:
Visualize your work
Limit your work-in-progress (WIP)
How to shift to Personal Kanban?
Get things done with a Personal Kanban board:
- Backlog
- Doing (remember to limit WIP)
- Done
Multitasking vs. Task switching
Do you think you are great at multitasking?
Trust me... you suck at it... like everyone else!
We think we multitask but what we really do is task
switching
We do small parts of all our tasks delaying all of them
Avoid multitasking since it is extremely inefficient
Unbeatable proof
Right down on a piece of paper:
- The first 10 numbers in Arabic (1, 2, 3 )
- The first 10 numbers in Roman (I, II, III )
- The first 10 letters of the Latin alphabet (a, b, c )
Using:
- Monotasking (1 sequence at a time)
- Task switching (5 items from each sequence then 5 more)
- Multitasking (1 item from each sequence at a time)
Compare the time you spent using each method
My results
Monotasking: 20 seconds
Task switching: 23 seconds (+15%)
Multitasking: 29 seconds (+45%)
How about you give it a try?
