Introduction to Personal Agility with Kanban Journaling

About this video

One of the biggest inhibitors to personal agility is having too much work in progress and no system to help visualize and manage your work. This ultimately inhibits you from entering what Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi calls flow — a happy state of concentration or complete absorption with the activity at hand. In this talk, Ray Arell examines the concepts around flow and Kanban and how these can be applied to journaling. He also explores examples of how to set up your journal with this method and how to use this system to manage your day more effectively to promote flow.
