Notebook - Focus Finish Fine-Tune Small (6x9)

As a long-time practitioner of personal kanban, I’m looking forward to using this notebook to take my practice on the road. Although I’ve used many electronic kanban boards to good effect, I prefer the physical form. This notebook feels good in my hands and promises a pleasurable writing experience. The one-sheets at the back offer a great summary and reminder of solid practices I use every day to help me choose the right work, focus, and finish it.

It is smaller than I thought it would be but I should have looked at the dimensions before I purchased it. It des have the needed information to help with your productivity so if that is your goal then you should be just fine. It should by no means be the only Kanban tool you have, use a board as well to get the full effect of what Kanban is. All in all it will help with your productivity but you might need a bigger source to view your progress on. Just my thoughts!

Disappointed in the quality, as if it was copied in someone's garage....

I've worked the Notebook in to my workflow and I find it useful. I used the Notebook in a marathon meeting last week and it helped me cover all of the points of a presentation in a flexible way and keep track of a few issues I needed to bring up. I think having the Notebook helped me pay attention better and I even logged a few insights along the way.

I was torn on if I should give this 3 stars or 4. I'm giving it 4 because the quality is excellent. I just think the value isn't there for what you can easily do on your on in a journal system. See below for an example:If you are new to Personal Kanban and don't already have a journal this would be a good place to start. This is a high quality notebook. The glossy cover is very thick as are the individual pages. There are 5 pages of instructions. 24 pages of the To Discuss, Decisions Mad, Action Items page. 2 Options pages (this is where you backlog goes) - it's in a 2 x 2 grid across the 2 pages to support the Purpose Driven approach to your backlog. Same layout for the 2 done pages and then it also has 2 pages of the Kanban workflow layout. There are also 4 blank pages labeled Insights for reflection.I purchased this because I really enjoyed the Personal Kanban: Mapping Work | Navigating Life book by Jim Benson and have found it very useful. I didn't know if this would be a simple folder that I could put in my journal or something else. If you are new to Personal Kanban and don't already have a journal system this would be one place to start. However, at $15 it's a bit steep in my opinion. I would spend the money on the book and then just buy a good journal and lay out your own workflow grid. For the sticky notes for the work items I have a 1.5 x 2 inch post it not bad that I cut down the middle. This is the perfect size to work on the grid for this book or a journal.

Geez-au My Goidness / this tiny booklet is about 10 pages and I paid 20??? Someone call the doctor and check my head...but I do like the concept

Not much more to say.
