How I used Kanban to improve my mental health
About

I have spoken about how the desire to be perfect in my roles and my life engulfed me. I suffered a massive panic attack as a result which impacted my life completely. Mental health is as important as physical health.
I now want to share how I moved from monthly improvements to regular improvements for my mental health. These stretch goals have helped me with focus and resilience. I will share some tools everyone can use to improve their throughput in their professional life. I will also discuss how to regain focus and concentrate on producing high quality deliverables.
