KANBAN VIEWS ARE PERFECT FOR GETTING A HIGH–LEVEL OVERVIEW OF A PROJECT AND ITS TASKS
FOR YEARS, APPLE’S Reminders app has used a list view to keep your tasks organized. This shows your to–do list items one on top of the other, and is great for staying on top of shopping or to–do lists. But it’s not ideal for anything like project management, where tasks can go through multiple statuses (such as “in progress” or “to be checked”).
Fortunately, Apple has fixed that in the macOS Sonoma update by adding a kanban view to Reminders. This shows all your tasks in a series of columns, and you can easily drag and drop tasks from one area to another. So, if you have a piece of work that has just been finished but needs to be signed off, you can move it into a “sign off” column so you know exactly where you stand.
MANAGE WHAT’S ON YOUR PLATE
Kanban views are perfect for getting more of a high–level overview of a project, and Reminders can now cater to that ably. In Apple’s implementation, you need to create a list first (such as for home tasks, or for a school or work project). Then, within that list, you create a series of sections. These serve as the columns once you’ve enabled the kanban view.
In this tutorial, we’re going to show you how to create your first kanban view in a Reminders list, as well as how to move your tasks from one area to another and manage them successfully. The walkthrough should help get you up to speed with this effective way of managing everything that’s on your plate.
