The veteran task manager gains the ability to break task lists into sections. Hold on, keep reading. Sections are surprisingly useful. It turns out that this innocuous change gives Reminders the ability to implement Kanban, a productivity methodology developed by Toyota. Hold on, keep reading. Kanban can help personal productivity too. You can use Kanban to monitor progress in a project for a course, content creation, or running a side hustle. It’s useful for keeping track of any activity that takes time and can be split into packets of work. I’m writing a book, for example, and I’m using Kanban to manage the drafting and editing of the chapters. At a glance, I can see how much progress I’m making, or not making… At least I know where the problem chapters are. The Reminders implementation of Kanban has the added benefit of deep-linking between the chart and work-items. That is, you can tap on a work-item on the chart and go straight to the chapter it’s associated with. <a href="https://medium.com/macoclock/boost-personal-productivity-with-kanban-and-apple-reminders-1c5fc0b69d22">Learn More</a>
