As a consultant on a client site there are client tasks, tasks for my consulting firm and tasks I need to perform as a 1099 consultant. My firm has a weekly status report that I have to submit and has the following topics:
- Accomplished this week
- Not accomplished this week
- Plans for next week
- Concerns/Issues
It is tough to remember everything you need to do or what has been done without tracking. I have tried to-do lists, task lists, etc and they all came up short. So I took matters in my own hand.
Using OmniGraffle for the Mac I created personal Kanban board to keep up with my weekly status report. I used the BPMN 2.0 stencil to make the diagram. I then exported the diagram as a PNG file and made it my desktop background.

Next using Desktop Notes applications to create my Kanban cards I use colors to denote personal, business, and client tasks. This helps me keep up with what is important and quickly identify repetitive tasks so I can add them to the backlog after I do my status report for the week
If would like to modify it for your own uses I have made the Creoss-Weekly-Kanban OmniGraffle file available.
