I haven’t been paid to talk up Trello. I’m on the free plan and have found it useful enough to share with my audience here!
This month I’ve been organizing my schedule, tasks, and goals with Trello.
I love how visual it is (GIFs!!!) and how I can drag and drop to see when I’ve completed tasks. It’s seriously great if you’re a visual person like me who likes tangible ways of tracking progress.
(Here’s how I use spreadsheets to track my editing progress)
I have a few boards I’m trying out. The weekly planner is plastered with Captain America GIFs as rewards for getting my work done (hee hee), and my master task list has Wonder Woman GIFs since she’s so motivating.
That latter list is something maybe you’d find helpful. I’m still working out the kinks with the weekly planner, but if I figure out how to make that work best for me, I’ll share it as a template, too.
I’ve also got plans to create a template board for story planning!
This quote from Mark Twain is one that I have kept coming back to over the past year (whether I follow the advice is another story).
If it’s your job to eat a frog, it’s best to do it first thing in the morning. And if it’s your job to eat two frogs, it’s best to eat the biggest one first.—Mark Twain
Look on the bright side, you might have to eat some frogs today, but at least you’re not eating toads?
“Toad’s skin lets out a bitter taste and smell that burns the eyes and nostrils of its predators, much like a skunk does.” —KidZone
