There are lots of scheduled activities in your life (doctor, car) and recurring stuff (pick up son from school, ballet lessons) where as a project has different stories being worked on each week.

I’d be interested in seeing how scrum can apply to daily life for to-dos. Something I’m going to try is pulling from a prioritised backlog. I’ll block off time to do personal stuff. Then I’ll pull from there.

I’ll need to check for errands as well. Perhaps categorising tasks will be helpful – @home, @errands like GTD so I know which tasks are best for me to do when – kind of like design tasks, development, tasks and so on.

It didn’t last long, though. I agree that life goals and software goals don’t compare all that well, and Scrum is too structured. It doesn’t allow for organic changes, like you say. For the time being, I’m back to using Google Tasks for my personal to-do’s. But also starting to experiment with “Remember the Milk” as a collaborative to-do system.

For personal productivity at work, I’ve also started using Kanban. From working with it actively over 10 days, I actually think it’s approach to flow is most suited to use for life planning, as well. And it’s fun!
