BANANAPAD IS AN A5 WEEKLY PLANNER THAT PUTS EISENHOWER AND KANBAN INTO YOUR HANDS, SO YOU CAN SEE THE WORK, LIMIT THE WORK, AND MAKE IT FLOW.

Make the problem visible

Tasks live on movable task strips in a prioritisation grid. A full grid is obvious at a glance, allowing you to reprioritise rather than quietly overcommit.

Limit Work In Progress (WIP)

Each category has a limited number of spaces. Nothing gets pulled into the week unless there is room (Kanban in action).

Level the workload

There are equal spaces for Eat Now (must be done this week) and Good to Eat (good for your wellbeing or growth). If your week is all firefighting, the grid shows you.

Plan, Do, Check, Act (PDCA)

Every week you move unfinished strips from last week's page. This shows what you keep carrying over - what you never make time for.

Flow, not overwhelm

Tasks you don't need to think about yet sit in the Fruit Bowl at the back, instead of on one long list. When space opens up, you pull the next strip forward.

Designed to be quick, so you spend more time achieving 

• Paper by design, with no phone to distract you from your to-do list.

• 52 weeks, each a double-page spread: prioritisation grid on the left, undated diary and daily ATE on the right.

• Fruit Bowl pages and blank note pages at the back.

• Pocket at the back for spare task strips.

• A5, ring bound - lies flat.

For lean consultants, leaders or training providers

Running a lean, continuous improvement or personal effectiveness course? BananaPad works well as a take-away that keeps the learning alive after the training finishes. Delegates get hands-on experience using visual management, WIP limits, levelling and PDCA every week in their own working life.

Leading a team? See when someone is full, before they tell you they’re overwhelmed. BananaPad is visual, so you get status at a glance, and a full grid shows straight away when someone is at capacity. Because tasks are on movable strips, you can agree together what moves out when something new comes in. Unfinished tasks carry over each week, so patterns show up on the page, ready for your next 1:1.
