This is a mishmash of GTD, Kanban, Scrum, and Pomodoro Technique.
- Capture everything in trusted buckets. In this case, Trello boards.
- Organize buckets by projects. In this case, a combination of boards and card colors.
- Create a Kanban Board with three columns: Planning, Doing, Done. Doing can have no more than three cards at any time.
- Assign cards story points based on "two-minute tasks" (2 points) and Pomodoro cycles (10 points) using Scrum for Trelllo Google Chrome extension. In other words:
- You can do five "two-minute tasks" in a single Pomodoro cycle. Why only five? I assume padding in-between for context-switching and underestimation.
- A full day's work amounts to 100 points: 50 in the morning, 50 in the afternoon. That translates to five hours of focused work throughout the day.
Tools
I use a combination of Trello, Wunderlist, and Gmail with multiple inboxes and superstars.
KanbanFlow has built-in Pomodoro, but I don't like the usability as much, as there's not as much of a developer community using it as Trello.
