Setting Up
- Create three columns on a board where you can use magnets or post-it notes. Label the columns: Options, Doing, and Done.
- Write your individual tasks down on separate cards. Post all of these cards in the "Options" column.
- From that column, choose no more than three to move into the middle "Doing" column. This is your work in progress.
- When a task is complete, move it into the "Done" column, and choose a new option to pull into "Doing."

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!
