Optimize your Work Management Skills with a Kanban Board!
As all the Essential Institutions like Educational and Transport have closed down due to the COVID- 19 Pandemic, Online Classes are being hosted for the First time in many Schools on common Video Conferencing Platforms, like: Google Meet (the most common), Skype and Zoom. With this, Assignments are also being posted daily, to keep the Students busy most of the Time. But, a major flaw that I have observed, is that the Teachers sometimes post the Work in an unorganized form, due to which, it becomes difficult for students to register it.
Most of the Students, as I have seen, maintain a To- do list, to help check their progress. But a To- do list is still not so effective, because sometimes, it can be really confusing and irritating. A simple, yet highly effective method, is a Kanban Board.
A Kanban Board, as its name suggests, is a board, which is divided into three segments, i.e., ‘Work To- Do’, ‘Work Doing’ and Completed Work’, or simply ‘Queued’, ‘Doing’ and ‘Done’. I have followed this method, and believe me, there is nothing more effective that a Kanban Board for Work Management!
You can make your own Kanban Board on your computer device, such as a laptop, mobile, or a desktop. Kanban Boards can also be made physically, but that is tedious. These are available online, and some of my favorite apps are- Scrumptious, Kanbie, and Trello. A Kanban simply works by:
1. Identify the Work you want to do,
2. Write down the Work under the ‘To- do’ Column,
3. When doing a work, drag the Card of that particular work under the Column, ‘Doing’,
4. When you have done that work, don’t forget to drag the Card under the ‘Done’ column;
5. At the End of the Day, you can see the work you did, and feel happy about it!
Personally, I like this because of its simplicity, which ensures that you do not get confused when you are working, and you can arrange your work neatly into different columns, which effectively saves your time. Another advantage you get by using a Kanban Board is that you can also check your efficiency by seeing the Amount of work you did in a particular time period.
I would really recommend using this technique, as it will help you to manage your work more effectively. You can download Kanban Board extensions for both your Chrome and Microsoft Edge Browser through the Chrome Web Store:
