Topic:  Conquer Overburdening with Kanban for One 

Speaker:  Mr. Adam Hsu

"How am I going to get all of these requests done for everyone and not disappoint some of them?"

"It feels like I'm taking one step forward and three steps back either for work or for my family."

"What just happened? Did I really miss both lunch and dinner with my family because of work?"

If any of these statements resonate with you, know that you are not alone as many of us have shifted the way we work to accommodate the changes that are beyond our control. There have been some unexpected benefits for some of us to work from home every day such as not having to sit in traffic to and from work, reducing our carbon footprint, and spending more time with family. 

Or are we? 

Some of us are finding that we might actually be spending less time with family because it's so easy now to just login and stay logged in for long periods of time at work. We are now fully accessible to everyone with an instant message and more requests are coming to us as we are having more interactions all day over Zoom. This is the reality most of us face and it feels like the lines between work and life have completely disappeared and we are drowning with requests from both sides.

Now what?

Join Accredited Kanban Trainer and PMI Tampa Bay Emeritus Board member, Adam Hsu, as he shares how we should look at ourselves as a service provider of one (even if you are part of a team) and that without visualization and limiting constraints we will forever be overburdened and unpredictable with meeting the needs of our requestors at work and at home. Adam will show how you can immediately begin by starting with some simple changes for yourself to make the "invisible work" become visible and then ask the question: what should I do about it?
