Gantt charts, excel tables, burndown charts, kanban boards or something else?

The back of my eyelids :-)

Seriously, I can't recall the last time I dreamt of PM tools while sleeping although I do get inspiration for the occasional blog post from a sleeping thought...

Gantt Chart & Milestone Pro. and sometimes a bar chart with series of Bars with arrows going upwards. maybe someday it would be of clear blue waters and sounds of waves slapping the deck.

Sante, your question is very fun and unexpectable. I have remembered that I often saw many faces of my stakeholders, who I negotiated with, and who I would have to talk with.

Sante -

I do get some reports, Kannan boards, presentations but I would say it is very rare, while I have some major issues only. I usually read some good books / articles / listen to music before I go to sleep, so as to refresh my mind.

Sometimes I get some good ideas & solutions during my sleep, which had been helpful in next day's work.

Thanks Girija. Ideas borne out of sleep can be an unexpected treat.

Gantt charts, excel tables, burndown charts, OH MY!

Sure, sometimes I review the day or preview the next. Generally, an I&A of my actions overall. I tend to fall asleep very quickly, so on a couple minutes worth of thought.

Plus, scrolling through Imgur is a great way to end the day :)

I fall asleep pretty quickly, but when I wake up in the middle of the night it is usually some interaction that plays over again and again in my mind. Trying to deal with a manager or a stakeholder. Never charts. When I used to program I would wake up to an endless loop. I would run something and keep getting the same result.
