Able Business Radio: Productivity | Small Business | Evernote | Trello

Jim Benson shows you how to understand your work on a much deeper level. Why? So you can do the best thing at any given time. Sounds difficult, right? It's not. Jim's methodology (Personal Kanban) is highly visual — you can see at a glance what needs to get done, what you’re working on, what your priorities are, and what you’ve accomplished. Personal Kanban has two rules: Visualize your work. Limit your work in progress. These rules (and some Post-It notes) will help you understand your work. And that understanding is the key to controlling it. Listen in and enjoy!
