- [Instructor] It's time to organize our lives. Yes, with JavaScript. We're building a Kanban board, which is basically a to-do list with commitment issues.

Next, we'll implement drag and drop so users can move tasks between columns like the productivity gurus they aspire to be. We'll also find the ability to persist the board state, so the tasks stick around after a page refresh. And finally, we'll make sure the whole thing is user friendly and the code is well structured.
