I remembered testing an app called Nirvana HQ that was strictly based on GTD. I understood the Kanban's basic concepts of “backlog”, “doing” and “done” and I wanted a simple straightforward system but that still had some GTD structure. Trello is an amazing visual tool!īut after a few months with Trello I decided to go minimal. I spent more time organizing and making the system look beautiful than actually doing stuff. Using Kanban made me understand my process but adding next actions and processing them in Trello was too cumbersome. See, I use GTD as a productivity method (which is list based) and Kanban is based on boards with focus of process flow. I started using Trello and I liked it for a while. Trello is a popular app that applies the Kanban board principles and it's extremely user friendly. Over the years it became a project management tool designed to help visualize work, limit work-in-progress, and maximize efficiency. It was created by Toyota as a scheduling system for cars lean manufacturing. Kanban is all about process and visualizing the work.

Well, about a year ago my lists were overwhelming, I was trying to create filters in Todoist and apply the Eisenhower Matrix and it was a complete mess! At that point I had just started using Trello as my main app, applying Kanban principles and leaving Todoist behind. GTD – Getting Things Done is a productivity method created by David Allen and I've been more or less applying its principles to my life for almost 6 years now.ħ months ago I wrote about sticking with one productivity system. My GTD organization has been a moving target for years.
