0 30

Every content writer or blogger struggles with the continuous content writing routine. I personally have struggled a lot and then kanban board comes into my life. I have changed a lot from the struggling with content to working in a schedule.

All thanks to the kanban board. You can use the kanban board to bring some routine to your content writing or any other habit that you wish to improve upon in everyday life.

So how does the kanban board works?

Kanban board is broken into the stages. Like the tasks you're supposed to do, you're doing and finally the tasks completed. This sort of the process or stage based board helps you keep track on the work.

There are many applications that can allow you to make kanban board. And trello is one such app that lets you do just that.

To-do List

This is the most important list you should be paying attention to. Like everything you want to do with work, personal and the long term should be in here. Your todo-list if it's progress based you can push it in the doing. You can also write more about it in if you have the kanban board with ability to extend the notes.

To-do list should also have some sort of the deadline. With lack of the deadline it makes it harder for you to focus on the items which can be done. To-do lists are hard. And you can't get all the items checked. So having deadline is extremely important.

Doing List

So you got started? Good for you. Now the hard part is keep going upto your deadline. And if you do it on daily basis, you have to keep this item in the doing list. So basically you can get a strong idea of where you are going in the long term. So there are ways with which you can learn how to get the most out of items in the checklist.

This list is where your most focus should be because unless these items are checked off getting new one into the to-do list is not going to do anything good for you. So make sure to focus on the "doing" list. Make sure to also focus on the execution on the time as that is the most important.

Done

This is the archival section. Make sure to have an archive so that you can understand that you have done work. As you age the amount of memory that is going to be against you increases. And so having an archive of already done things need to be there too. So make sure to update your done list as soon as you complete any work.

This also means that you keep track of the small details in the work. If you have done any specific work on the time. You have to update that in this list of "Done". Make sure to have done list in your every kanban board. A lot of people forget they have forgot the work done unless they have an archive in the list.

How to Use kanban board effectively?

There are lot of things you can do before you can use the board for your projects and also for the everyday tasks.

  1. Make sure to have some amount of work done slowly in each task.

  2. Push the item to the doing as soon as you start working.

  3. Regularly check your archive or done list.

  4. Make sure to keep the todo-list with time constraints.

As you can see having some direction over your kanban board definitely helps out long term. You have to make sure to focus on the tasks such that it can push your small amount of progress.
