Produce:
1. A recommended column structure (e.g. Backlog, Ready, Doing, Waiting, Done) tailored to my work.
2. A realistic work-in-progress limit for the Doing column and why.
3. How to handle blocked or waiting tasks so they do not clog Doing.
4. A rule for what enters Ready (so the backlog does not flood it).
5. A daily and weekly ritual to keep the board honest.
6. How to lay out my current open tasks across the columns now.
