One of the agilist dudes is writing a series on kanban for individual/personal work. It's an impressively simple and practical explanation of kanban, and good reading for agile/lean people.
And? Even if you know nothing about those two concepts, it's an effective personal organization system. When I tried applying Scrum to getting things done at home, it sortof evolved into kanban: it became "I can do X things at a time, I'd like them to fall in Y categories - which were like personal value stream elements- and it makes the most sense to have them all be similar in size", and the iterations fell away (planning happened in a fluid way to queue up more Xs, I didn't really retrospect or review with myself on a set cadence, done was the equivalent of shipped, etc.).
So, worth reading if you're interested in ways of organizing your doings. Whatever you happen to do.
