I'm interested in your approach to SCRUM. I've known that it's used as a framework for teams, but never for personal use. Do you mind describing how you implement it?
It's a loose adaptation.
Most importantly for me is to have an overview of everything, then secondly do not allow myself to become overwhelmed by the everything overview. If I break everything down to individual steps, then all I need to look at each day are the steps, not this giant mountain of shit.
I have header columns created out of the Milestones, Then a separate set of columns for the Jobs under the Milestones with each job broke out into its Tasks.
Using cutdown colored Post-it notes and colored Sharpies allowed me to see at a glance what's what
Every night I would check the board and then peal off individual tasks out of their columns and put them into the TODAY column. So the next day, those items were the only thing I was concerned about and the only things I would 'judge myself against '. Items stayed in the Today column until they were completed, or ran into complications that required a different approach.
Each time an anything was done, it got stuck in the completed column.
Here is a short, badly shot, terribly narrated video of the largest one of these I built. For context I was moving away from normal life, purchasing a small sailboat, and moving aboard full-time. Literally and figuratively an entire and complete change of lifestyle, location and skillsets.
From zero $, in fact in the hole several thousand, in an apartment in Seattle to a small boat in Miami, including car, in just under 3 years.
If you would ever like to discuss this more or run into problems setting one up for yourself, please find me on the socials and I would be more than happy to help you anyway I can.
I'm writing this all out on the can, so I might have missed something or glossed over. I apologize.
