We have begun work on our yard. This is our personalkanban in progress for our backyard. We drew a rough draft of our yard so that we made sure we were going to tackle everything we wanted to accomplish this spring. Once we have completed each landscaping option they will move over in the done lane. I am trying to bring as much visualization on my pk as possible. I am hoping this will help me for next fall when I am doing pk's for my classroom for children who aren't able to read yet.

Moleskine Personal Kanban update: I love the ability to add a new pk based on my needs for a particular day. The first PK I made in my moleskine pictured here: www.flickr.com/photos/swimmor/sets/72157625937171559/with...
I used that for the whole week. This one was needed just for a particular day. It worked great.
I am using this personal kanban without the traditional lanes, I just wrote the words where the lanes would be. I wanted to try it with no visual barriers on my board.

We bought a new townhome that included a cubby about 5
10" wide that we wanted to use as a home office. We wanted two workstations (PC + laptop) plus room for all the peripherals and supplies. We looked for furniture that would fit the bill for a while, but nothing left enough space to move around.
Bit by bit I am reducing my A4 files with A6 and A7 files with pared down information, extracting the core information from those
articles and books, and writing it on A6 or A7 pieces of paper or maybe file a small, dense article as is ( a job for long winter evenings). The mini files use A7 paper, using the back of old correspondence cut down, and punched with standard hole punch.

I have switched my Personal Kanban into a bigger moleskine (7.5 x 9.8 inches), I found that for the time being I needed more post-its real-estate on a single view. I also found that I now have several options I need to complete on a daily basis that are extremely time sensitive. So I am using two backlogs one for time sensitive options and one for options that need to be done but not on a tight-time-based deadline. I just designed and started using this the other day. The only thing I think I might add is the date/&or time that each time sensitive option needs to be done by in the corner of each post-it note. I know in my head when they are due but I often find that it's nice to add the visual too as an added safety net. With my whiteboards taken down in my office and packed for the move, I have found that I rely on my moleskine pk more than ever.

The printer is raised off the desk surface on a low shelf to make room for paper storage underneath.
First week in: decided I needed an extra DONE lane. :-) Also I never included a retrospective lane. I am so glad I did, it helped me greatly.

Understanding of difference between ordinary classification system and my chronological order system of index cards.
From spacial to temporal, 2-dimensional to 1-dimensional. Degree of freedom is less than ordinary system. It enable simpler management of information.

What I have been finding since I started using the multi-layered option kanban is that it has been really effective, I feel like I have a safety net within my options/projects, however my focus has not been great this week for whatever reason. So what I decided to do was to have the kanban spread out on separate pages in moleskine. On the left side of this photo are my READY pages with the multi-layered projects/options, then on the right side of the photo are the next two pages in my moleskine with my WIP/Completed lanes. What I found since starting to work this way earlier in the week is that my focus is better. I move one or two of my options into the working lane, have the moleskine open to that page and stay on that page until those options are done. This way I am not getting distracted by seeing my ready lane and going back to that to pull a different option to start on before the others (that I know should be done first) are done. What a difference working in this pk by just 'hiding' that lane has made.

Sometimes I get a little down, which hurts my productivity. Now every time I use the phone, I get a fuzzy hug!
Close up of the context cards. When a next action or to-do pops up I assign it a context and pop it in the proper bin or keep in in the inbox until my weekly review.

I'm using DIN A7 index cards as here in germany there are no 3"x5" index cards (at least I haven't found some...)
my wife's pumpkin this year. totally blew mine out of the water. i usually go with the most difficult of the pumpkin masters patterns, just because i can. this year, i freehanded a simple mean face (ok, it wasn't completely simple: i did give it eyebrows).
i think she said she got the idea for this from several different sources, some of which may or may not have been oprah, family fun magazine, some show on tv, some other show on tv, or a brilliant stroke of genius.
happy halloween!

We are almost done with our backyard renovations for this year. This almost total visualization PK was awesome to work with. We knew exactly what we wanted to do and where we needed it to be done. This was highly successful especially working with a group. I will definitely be using this type of PK again.

Recently, two products are being bought a lot worldwide. They are toilet paper and noodles. Households currently have large stocks of them and one wonders how one can make a meal out of them without wasting water or energy. This is quite simple. Take colored noodles to make the meal look better, shred the toilet paper so that many small stripes are formed. First throw the noodles on a plate and then sprinkle the shredded toilet paper on top. Then throw the food away so that you do not damage your teeth. Don't forget to take a photo as a photo reminder before throwing the food away.
Note: No food was thrown away during the production of the video. The noodles were cooked afterwards and the shredded toilet paper was glued together so you can use it.
De laatste tijd worden wereldwijd twee producten veel gekocht. Het zijn toiletpapier en noedels. Huishoudens hebben er momenteel grote voorraden van en men vraagt zich af hoe men er een maaltijd van kan maken zonder water of energie te verspillen. Dit is heel eenvoudig. Neem gekleurde noedels om de maaltijd er beter uit te laten zien, versnipper het toiletpapier zodat er veel kleine strepen ontstaan. Gooi de noedels eerst op een bord en strooi er dan het versnipperde wc-papier overheen. Gooi dan het eten weg zodat je je tanden niet beschadigt. Vergeet niet een foto te maken als fotoherinnering voordat je het eten weggooit.
Let op: Er is geen voedsel weggegooid tijdens de productie van de video. De noedels zijn achteraf gekookt en het versnipperde toiletpapier is aan elkaar geplakt zodat je het kunt gebruiken.

Burning old Christmas trees, especially in forests, poses several significant risks:
Fire Hazard: Dry Christmas trees are highly flammable. Burning them can easily lead to uncontrolled fires, which can spread rapidly in forested areas, causing extensive damage to wildlife, vegetation, and potentially human lives and property.
Environmental Impact: Burning trees releases carbon dioxide and other pollutants into the atmosphere, contributing to air pollution and climate change. This is particularly harmful in forested areas where the goal is often to preserve natural habitats and reduce carbon footprints.
Wildlife Disruption: Fires can destroy habitats and food sources for wildlife, leading to displacement or death of animals. The smoke and heat can also cause stress and harm to animals in the vicinity.
Legal Issues: In many areas, burning Christmas trees or any kind of open burning in forests is illegal due to the high risk of wildfires. Violating these regulations can result in fines and other legal consequences.
Instead of burning, consider recycling your old Christmas tree. Many communities offer tree recycling programs where trees are chipped into mulch or composted, providing a more environmentally friendly disposal method.
Week review is done by leaf-through a set of indexcard. Less than a minute for reviewing indexcard of a week.
Repeat leaf-through-ing until you are enough.
Usually, I look at title of indexcard. (Title is so important for quick review!) If there is a picture, it attract my attension and enhance my recognition.
Lately I have several projects which are fairly big with many smaller options related to that bigger project. I noticed when I am working on the bigger option without the layers or smaller options written down, I think I am done with the option and then realize I forgot something related to that project/option. So I have been "experimenting" with working by piggy-backing or multi-layering the projects/options. By taking the time to really brainstorm about my project (using a mind map) before I begin my work, has helped me to carefully think out every step involved, so that I am not doubling back to re-do something or add a part to the main project that I forgot.

I put the Receipt card into the Dock. The pocket is slightly larger than actual indexcard.
Put it just front of "This week" index. TheReceipt card is hidden by indexcards of the week. But it is no problem because it doesn't need to be reviewed frequently.
Mine is a take off on using binder clips for cable management. For years I struggled with the hassle of losing cables behind my desk. For a while I used magnetic bulldog clips, but the magnets weren't strong enough to guarantee that the weight of the cable wouldn't pull them off.
Sorry for the shitty photo, but you get the idea.
