Introduction to the TargetNavigator [1]

Welcome to the world of task management

Where chaos meets order and efficiency is king! Today I'm going to take you on an exploratory journey to the heart of the task management system - TargetNavigator.
This is no ordinary system, it's a real radar on the sea of daily responsibilities that will help you not only organize your tasks, but also give them the right direction.

Let's start with the basics. First about the Kanban board. Imagine a simple board with three columns: “To Do,” “In Progress or Doing” and “Done.”

It's nothing more than a visual representation of your workflow, where each task moves from left to right, from planning to execution and ultimately - success. It's a simple but powerful tool that gives you clarity and order in visualizing the status of your tasks.

But what if we could add more to it ? Here is the Eisenhower Table, which divides tasks according to their urgency and importance.

The four quadrants of this table
are your way of prioritizing work:
“Urgent and important,”
“Important but not urgent,”
“Urgent but not important,”
and “Neither urgent nor important.”
This is where you decide what needs immediate attention
and what can wait.

Now imagine that these two systems have been combined into one, creating TargetNavigator, It's like looking at a radar screen, where each quadrant corresponds to priorities from the Eisenhower Matrix, and concentric circles represent Kanban steps. The outer circle shows “To Do” tasks, the middle circle shows “In Progress / Doing,” and the center circle shows “Done.” It's an intuitive and elegant way to track progress and manage tasks.

TargetNavigator is more than a tool, it's a task management philosophy that combines best practices and adapts them to the dynamic world we live in. It's a system that grows with you and your projects, offering flexibility and scalability.

We'll explore each element of TargetNavigator in future posts, but you can already get a feel for how this system can transform your approach to tasks. From simple to-dos to complex projects, TargetNavigator is your guide to productivity.

You're about to embark on a journey that will change the way you think about task & project management.

When creating TargetNavigator, we were inspired by the principles of leading task management systems. The Kanban method is one of them. You can read more about the Kanban method from the Kanban University guide. We also recommend Marcus Hammarberg and Joakim Sunden's excellent book “Kanban in Action”.
