I bought an A6 diary to use as a writing diary and looking back through it, it just shows how disappointing I have been and why I haven&#8217;t managed to achieve anything for a long long time. My problem is I have no excuses, my children are grown, we do have time with Grandkids and I do things with my wife but if I really boiled down to it I don&#8217;t have any excuses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/procrastinationstation.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/277936902_932410150779247_699700406509004072_n.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/procrastinationstation.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/277936902_932410150779247_699700406509004072_n-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1903\" width=\"192\" height=\"256\" srcset=\"https:\/\/procrastinationstation.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/277936902_932410150779247_699700406509004072_n-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/procrastinationstation.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/277936902_932410150779247_699700406509004072_n-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/procrastinationstation.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/277936902_932410150779247_699700406509004072_n-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/procrastinationstation.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/277936902_932410150779247_699700406509004072_n.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 192px) 100vw, 192px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>We are starting to work Agile at work for product Development and this got me thinking back to Kanban Boards and how this could perhaps help me. If I was to split my tasks into smaller chunks and then work through them, there is a better chance of keeping the momentum going. As daft as it sounds I can already see it helping. In the past when left alone at home while Trace goes out I would potter around and achieve nothing, or go on the Xbox. This time I looked at the board and moved this blog task down to the &#8220;doing&#8221; part and sat down. This is good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/procrastinationstation.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/IMG_20220409_132147-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/procrastinationstation.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/IMG_20220409_132147-1024x885.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1904\" width=\"256\" height=\"221\" srcset=\"https:\/\/procrastinationstation.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/IMG_20220409_132147-1024x885.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/procrastinationstation.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/IMG_20220409_132147-300x259.jpg 300w, https:\/\/procrastinationstation.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/IMG_20220409_132147-768x664.jpg 768w, https:\/\/procrastinationstation.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/IMG_20220409_132147-1536x1328.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/procrastinationstation.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/IMG_20220409_132147-2048x1771.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 256px) 100vw, 256px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, I am going to set up a board for writing projects, from the list above I had already dropped a Sci-Fi idea in the shattered worlds universe and have been developing one for Fantasy, although still set in the shattered worlds universe. I am quite keen on this one and I have been doing some writing for it. One of today&#8217;s tasks is to finish setting up the KanBan and then sit down to create the tasks so I can start writing this story. i have even added the Xmas story to the board as this is something I have been trying to write for years and given it&#8217;s a short it shouldn&#8217;t be that hard to do. But, it just needs to be right given what I am writing it for. Maybe using the board will allow me to break it down and get it completed ready for this Xmas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I am optimistic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When I was looking at the year ahead in December I was, as usual, up for planning and making grand goals that I would achieve in this new year, new me, new life.
