A Kanban board is a convenient method to manage your work or studies effectively. Let's explain it with an example familiar to middle school students.
A Kanban board is divided into three sections:
- Tasks to do
- Tasks in progress
- Completed tasks
Let's consider school homework as an example:
In the "Tasks to do" section, you write down the homework you haven't started yet. For instance, "Japanese essay" or "Math worksheet."
In the "Tasks in progress" section, you move the homework you are currently working on. For example, "Writing the Japanese essay."
In the "Completed tasks" section, you move the homework you have finished. For instance, "Math worksheet completed."
By managing your assignments visually in this way, you can see at a glance what you need to do, what you are currently doing, and what you have finished. This makes it easier to prioritize and confirm your progress.
You can create a Kanban board using sticky notes on a wall, writing in a notebook, or using a smartphone app.
This method can be used not only for homework but also for managing practice plans for extracurricular activities or setting goals for your hobbies.
