## 🧠 Part 1: Clarifying the Structure of Your Work
Lets reframe how you **mentally organize** your work first. Instead of rigid sprints or freeform brainstorming, use these flexible **layers**:
### 1. **Projects**
Your top-level initiatives. Examples:
* “Notion Template Storefront”
* “AI Prompt Pack for Writers”
* “Home Automation Blueprint eBook”
They have a clear end-point.
---
### 2. **Phases** (Milestones / Epics)
Break each project into **phases or themes** like:
* Planning / Research
* Creation / Writing / Design
* Development / Packaging
* Testing / Proofing
* Launch / Publish / Market
* Post-launch Maintenance
Each phase can span **multiple tasks** and even involve **CI/CD** if needed.
---
### 3. **Work Units (Tasks)**
Actual pieces of work with:
* Time estimate
* Deadline
* Priority tag (P1: Urgent, P2: Upcoming, etc.)
* Optional dependencies or blockers
Examples:
* Write landing page copy
* Design product logo
* Publish blog post announcing product
* Test checkout flow on mobile
---
### 4. **Workflows (Optional)**
For repeatable patterns, like:
* CI for product builds
* Website publishing with Git
* Template syncing to marketplaces
These could be linked to automation but are mostly **background context** unless you're actively working on them.
---
## 📅 Part 2: Visualizing the Process
You need visibility in a **dual-layered way**:
### ✅ Focus View
* What am I doing this week?
* Whats due soon?
* Whats blocked?
### 📈 Timeline View
* Whats the big picture?
* When does this product hit launch?
* Can we overlap writing from Project A while finishing marketing for Project B?
This is where **Gantt charts + calendar + task board** together become powerful.
---
## 🛠️ Part 3: Better Tools for This Need
Since you want:
* **Calendar + Gantt + Boards**
* Visual flow
* Lightweight
* Self-hosted
You might want to seriously consider:
### ⚙️ **[OpenProject](https://www.openproject.org/)** (best fit)
* Full **Gantt**, Calendar, Task board, and Work Package view
* Sprint/backlog support (Agile module)
* Milestones and dependencies
* Built-in time tracking, priorities, statuses
* Markdown support, discussions per task
* Visual and clean despite being powerful
* Active community and **Docker support**
---
## 🧭 Part 4: Planning Toward Product Delivery
Youre trying to juggle:
* Task clarity
* Time budgeting
* Product outcome
* CI/CD readiness
Heres a suggested **workflow template**:
### Weekly Sprint Rhythm (for 2-person team)
1. **Monday Planning**:
* Review calendar
* Choose 35 tasks each (est. total time \~20h max)
* Assign deadlines + priorities
2. **Midweek Sync (or notes if async)**:
* Check for blockers
* Adjust priorities
3. **Friday Review**:
* What shipped?
* What slipped? Why?
* What phase are we moving to?
4. **Reflect Monthly**:
* What products did we finish?
* Were any steps missed or bloated?
* Is CI/CD helping or is it noise for this product?
---
## 💡 Optional Enhancements
* Use **tags** or **custom fields** to denote:
* "Ready to Launch"
* "Blocked"
* "CI: Needed"
* "Static Product"
* Use **OpenProject time tracking** or external tools like [Kimai](https://www.kimai.org/) to compare planned vs actual effort — great for long-term improvement.
