In today's dynamic and fast-paced world, mastering task management is crucial for leaders and managers seeking efficiency and results.
Using appropriate methodologies and techniques not only facilitates the visualization of activities but also enhances project management assertively. Here are 5 powerful techniques to improve your task management:

KANBAN
The Kanban methodology uses visual boards to organize tasks according to their stage of progress. This approach facilitates the tracking and management of workflow.
- Visual Boards: Use cards to represent tasks and move them according to their status (in progress, completed).
- Responsibilities and Deadlines: Assign responsibilities and set deadlines for each task.
- Progress Tracking: Monitor the progress of activities clearly and visually.

Time Tags
The Time Tags technique organizes the day's tasks according to the estimated duration.

- Utilizing Intervals: Use the tags to allocate tasks in the intervals between commitments, optimizing the available time.
Mentalizing Achievements
Mentalizing Achievements helps to recognize and celebrate small victories, promoting motivation and well-being.
