If we didn't organize ourselves at Queen's Escape, we'd have a head full of to-dos and no idea where to start. For our sanity, we use Kanban - a form of Lean Agile that takes giant jobs (epics) and breaks them down into smaller projects (stories), and then we take those projects and create a list of tasks that need to be completed before the job is done. Then we do them. And so it goes!

Queen's Escape was inspired by the 4 years the Belgian royal family stayed at Château de La Tuilerie during WWII. In particular, it is for the Queen. The king took shelter at a different location in France. We've named each of our guest rooms after great Queens of the past and present from around the world. Margrethe, Eleanor, Catherine, Himiko, Cleopatra, and soon our bridal suite will be ready in honor of Queen Elizabeth II.
With it's sprawling green meadows, 100-year-old trees, and historic location in the small medieval town of Gluges, the 200-year-old château is truly an escape. With 5 guest rooms to rent and a stunning Orangery, we look forward to welcoming you for a visit or to host your wedding or event.

Thanks for sharing all that! Your task completion method and the history of it is wonderful! So is your painting! And last but certainly not least, seeing the plaster come off the shed was very satisfying, and definitely improves it's appearance! Hope that door arrives soon!

I'm going to create a Kanban board. Usually I just make a To Do list, but this system will be great for home chores and at work with my team.

I wish I had known about this kanban process. My husband passed away two weeks ago and I have been overwhelmed with all that has to be done. I am putting this into practice from this point on. Karen the painting you are doing if Bo and his son is so wonderful. Deborah. North Carolina ❤

I am so sorry for your loss. I can imagine structure would help with all the details and tasks you have right now at a time when you certainly are distracted with grief. My heart goes out to you. Thank you for sharing with me. ❤️❤️❤️

Wow~ What a lesson I had in managing my life. I thought you must just remember and DO!! I just wonder how long it takes to do all that planning? I've got so much to do each day, maybe I can do that rather than watching youtube videos. haha. Thank you it was really so insightful. Being the chief cook bottle washer, gardener and never ever getting finish!! Being mostly overwhelmed, ......Maybe at least this way helps to focus on those thing done, than those things not done like I do. And everybody thinks I'm lazy....therefore never done. They, like me, only focus on the NOT DONE tasks. Thank you . Your place is always much neater than mine, and it's much bigger and you've got less help than I do, well, so it seams. At least it's a privilege to work and that one have the ability to still work. Always something to be thankful for. Best wishes.

🍎 Karen and Bo, Love your new makeover Karen! It makes you look a lot younger especially without the white blonde. No one looks young with white hair! Did you know Queen Victoria of England's husband died in his early 40's and the story also told that some of the cooks also died because they found out the septic tank was under the kitchen in their castle. Apparently they were very allergic to the smell from the ground. If you have a sixth sense of smell, it will definitely affect you, if you don't, you have a chance of surviving. Just wanted you to know as you had a vlog about your septic tank. Not that you guys can be allergic, but maybe in a couple years you can move your septic tank a lot further away from your chateau. I know it would affect me tremendously as I have a sixth sense of smell. I can even smell the cemetery grounds when I am passing it especially if it's a rainy day! Not because you don't have a sixth sense of smell means you should ignore any situation that can be avoided because sooner or later, eventually it will affect one's health. Like a lot of people having dogs and cats in their house or smoking and end up using an oxygen machine. Even children and teenagers have to use inhalers because of not being thoroughly clean with animals in their home or using too much strong detergents and house cleaning chemicals. Which can be avoided by using organic cleaners or diluting the chemicals and opening windows when using chemicals in the home. So it's all about taking away health hazardous, toxic objects around one's environment so we don't end up using life supporting machines. Bye for now. Getting too hungry!🌴
