This is just uh, Kanban. The ‘Personal’ part is irrelevant in practice.
That being said, for both personal and professional projects of any scale, I’ve found Kanban with elements of GTD mixed in extremely useful.

And since Personal Kanban is personal, I've had to find different hooks to hang the activities on. In a team context, I can use collective rituals like a daily stand-up to force grooming of the kanban and awareness of workflow hiccups. Personal kanban is harder for me to maintain unless I use something like calendar alerts.
What are some things that you've learned combining the two?
As a dev it never really worked for me.
- Visualise work flow - Limit work in progress
Getting Things Done's main points are:
- Capture all tasks/notes in only a few central places - Have a process for processing/reorganising these tasks
Kanban's aim is to make it clear what's happening (and what's not being done). You'd hope to see why you're not finishing things which you're "doing".
GTD aims to reduce mental load (the tasks/notes aren't in your head, they're on paper).
