List or kanban: when to use which

Ordo lets you switch between both views in one click. Here is how we choose, depending on the time of day.

Same tasks, two different lenses. Ordo keeps your data identical, only the presentation changes.

The list, for sorting

The list view shows everything at once, with priority and due date. It is the right view for the morning review: spot what is urgent, delete what no longer matters, quickly add three ideas.

The kanban, for moving forward

During the day, the board is more honest. It shows what moves and what does not. Dragging a card to "Done" remains, like it or not, a small pleasure.

Our routine

Moment View Goal
Morning List Prioritise
Daytime Kanban Execute
Friday List Clean up

Ordo remembers the last view you used, so you land right where you left off.
