David Allen, in his book on GTD (Getting Things Done), talks about the calendar as being "sacred". It is extraordinarily simple - in the sense that it is one of the "leanest" task management system (for both complex projects as well as simple miscellaneous daily tasks) that you will ever use. Therein lies the secret to minimizing continual list revisions when looking to transfer tasks from our backlog of stuff to do into our list of tasks to be tackled today. Below is a simple outline of my Kanban Calendar system:Ī Kanban Calendar is a basically a digital mashup of a Kanban board.
