Task Boards and Planning: A Productivity Approach

In a world without email, a supply chain management theorist created a complex task management system with colorful sticky notes on a whiteboard. He prioritized tasks by category and stacked completed tasks in buckets to assess his progress. In weekly planning, important tasks are highlighted and time is blocked off in the calendar for larger tasks. Daily planning involves copying tasks from the calendar onto the time block plan, with admin blocks for smaller tasks and deep work blocks for focused work. Admin blocks can be general or have a specific list of tasks.
