Start with a Three-Column Kanban

Set up To Do, Doing, Done. Keep cards small, verbs active, and work-in-progress limited to protect focus. Move one card at a time. Subscribe for future templates, and tell us which column you struggle to keep balanced.

Time-Blocking with a Color Calendar

Assign distinct colors to themes like Deep Work, Meetings, Admin, and Recovery. Visual gaps reveal overcommitment or underplanning immediately. Share your palette choices and the one shade that makes you pause before accepting another meeting.

Mind Maps to Clarify Scope

Start in the center with a clear outcome, branch into deliverables, then tasks. Use thickness, color, and icons to mark importance. Post your before-and-after mind map and note how your next action became unmistakably obvious.

Color, Contrast, and Meaning

Choose one meaning per color and keep it sacred. For example: red for risks, amber for waiting, green for done, blue for planning. Accessibility matters—add labels and patterns. Which color meanings feel most intuitive to you and your team?
