Deleted all my 'done' tasks for 2021. Quite satisfying to see I'd done a decent amount of painting despite a challenging year with very little free time. I may make the clearing of the kanban a special event, maybe a little speech with a toast to a disinterested family.
Have an ambitious workload for 2022 but should hopefully have plenty finished again this time next year and have a whole new army for Ayton 2023.

Re: The annual clearing of the kanban
I don’t understand how your family could be uninterested in such a spectacular event.
I too will be spending this week doing some focusing and will emerge resplendent and energised !

Some of us are always resplendent and energised!
Obviously not me, but someone must be...
I may make some plans as well...

Re: The annual clearing of the kanban
I never seem to make any plans, I just drift in and out of various projects interspaced with fast past enthusiasm for a new or old project. Hobby is a hobby and fun it is.

Mostly what Willz says, but this year I have delved just a little into the world of plans and stuff.......but that won't last.Willz the Wargamer wrote: ↑Sun Dec 26, 2021 9:41 am I never seem to make any plans, I just drift in and out of various projects interspaced with fast past enthusiasm for a new or old project.

Re: The annual clearing of the kanban
My 2022 Kanban has:
28mm 18thC Indians
28mm 18thC WSS Austrians
6mm Ancient Indians pt 2
28mm Macedonians Pt 2
Epic Space Marines, Orcs and Eldar
and if the urge/time allows
17thC 1672 troops.
Remember this is hobby stuff.
Business wise will be 1899 Martian Invsion, 6mm fantasy, 6mm ECW and..... whatever else appears!

Re: The annual clearing of the kanban
Having just stocked the new shed - moving everything that was in the old shed, under the stairs, in my old office, and under my painting desk. I have come to realise:
1. Any plans I have will be completely wrecked by impulse buys.
2. I have eclectic tastes.
3. It is virtually impossible to even give away 1/72 models these days.
and
4. If Really Useful Boxes were a publicly traded company, it would be a good investment...
I am too scared to even do an inventory... and it is essentially only the last 5 years of purchases, and I have a larger pile still in Australia.

Re: The annual clearing of the kanban
I've imagined having a kanban & have imagined clearing it. I have imaginarily refiled it for '22 with ideas which I have imagined.
Re: The annual clearing of the kanban
If I did a Kanban it would be like Rimmer's revision timetable in Red Dwarf. I'd spend so long doing it i'd have cut into the time for tasks at the front end, so i'd need to do another one reflecting this.
Repeat ad nauseum until I find that i've only got 2 hours on the 31st of December to do everything.
