31 July 2017 | Comments [0] »

Last week, I took an ICD tele class on Personal Kanban for people with ADHD. I was familiar with personal kanban, having tried it out myself a few times over the last seven years.

For several years I’ve been using the various task management techniques created by Mark Forster. The most recent has been DWM.
