Hi Paul, came across a tweet today of someone who said they loved your workflow. Pretty impressive. I downloaded your template and spent some time going up and down it. I do a lot of Pomodoro-ing myself. What I see a lot of in your template - and something I could use more to keep myself in check - is reflecting on what has been done and I imagine what can be improved upon and adjusted thereafter. You are very systematic.
I noticed reminders "by time" tucked away in your "Meta" list. Other than that, your "Projects and "Today" sections are fairly similar to the way I set it up. I wrote a blog post about it a week ago. I include a "calendar" section as part of my Personal Kanban solution. You of all people I think would appreciate the thinking behind my setup. A number of people who would never previously have used WorkFlowy as a Kanban solution for personal task management are now applying my approach. Jesse Patel recently featured it on the WorkFlowy blog...
Here's my template: https://workflowy.com/s/CiPqAWhLCt
Here's my blog post that explains it: http://www.productivitymashup.com/blog/2014/8/17/kanban-calendar-workflowy
I'm seriously going to include some of the metrics and processes that you outlined in your template.
Cheers,
Frank

Thanks for the link to workflowy. Here's some thoughts on it.
Problems:
If I use it to keep a todo/projects list, I can't assign priorities or dates to sort and filter by. (Hashtags aren't enough for this.)
Can't have the same item linked to from two different places. It's a tree, not a graph. I read some people say they've exported their brains to workflowy, but your brain is more of a graph than a tree. (Duplication isn't enough for this, because changes in the duplicate aren't applied to the original.)
Regardless, it's definitely better than the mess of text files I'm currently using.
The tagging and searching functionality seems to make it possible to implement the I'm bored and have 20 minutes, tell me what to do function that another commenter talked about. Just tag the relevant subtasks with #nextaction or something, and then search for that tag later.
Hi Yli, Here's a possible solution for you: A post of mine was featured on Jesse Patel's WorkFlowy blog a couple of days ago: http://blog.workflowy.com/2014/08/21/using-workflowy-as-a-kanban-calendar/
