Desktop Kanban Board
My Husband’s Simple Hack Changed My Desktop Forever
Sometimes, the best productivity hacks come from the most unexpected places — even from the person sitting across the dinner table.
So, my husband, who thrives on spreadsheets and systems, showed me his computer screen. Instead of the usual scattered icons, he had transformed his entire desktop into a custom Kanban board.
No fancy app. No pricey subscription. Just a simple, visual tool sitting right there every time he powered up his computer.
And just like that — I was hooked.
What’s a Kanban Board Anyway?
If you’re new to this idea, a Kanban board is simply a visual system for organizing tasks. You break work into columns like To Do, In Progress, and Complete, then move tasks through the flow until they’re done.
It’s simple, satisfying, and incredibly effective. For a long time, I’d used Kanban boards on paper and with hard copy post-it’s, but the idea of making it my actual desktop background? That was a game-changer!
Why I Love It (And You Might Too)
I’ve spent years helping small businesses, nonprofits, and bold entrepreneurs build brands that work — systems, visuals, and strategies that make everyday life easier.
However, when you see your priorities laid out every time you open your laptop, you can’t hide from what matters. There’s no tab to close, no app to forget to check. Your big tasks and tiny to-dos are front and center, right where they belong.
Plus, you can customize it to match your brand, your vibe, your goals. I added my logo, my brand colors — and suddenly my desktop felt like a little piece of BeeBold HQ.
What Makes It Work
It’s not just the image — it’s how you use it:
Clean up your cluttered desktop, so your Kanban sections stay clear.
Add digital Sticky Notes you can type on, move around, and update.
Keep your desktop icons tucked to one side.
Do a quick reset each week to celebrate what’s done and plan what’s next.
Simple. Smart. And surprisingly motivating.
