Some days I have a lot of different tasks to accomplish and support items come at me usually at the wrong time (before vacation, at 5PM,...). For the last month I've been using kanban to manage my work (trello) with these columns
backlog
on deck
doing
waiting
impeded
done
This has reduced my stress and gives me a place to put things to do as they come up.
I read Personal Kanban: Mapping Work | Navigating Life by Jim Benson & Tonianne DeMaria Barry first. I found the book a bit overdone in explaining and justifying why. But maybe that is just me. I'm a scrum coach with 11 years experience as a scrum coach and 2 years as a product owner so I get the backlog, planned, doing, done thing.
