![]() You can find the icons on this blog post from Trello. To get the confetti, all you have to is copy a little icon into the title of the list. When I drag something into Done Today using the Trello app on my computer, it explodes with confetti. The Done Today list contains cards that I drag manually after accomplishing a task. The To Do Today list is populated by my daily tasks (which are automatically moved to the To Do Today list while I sleep-more on that in a minute) and the tasks I select each morning from the Backlog list. There are 13 cards in there, including things like yoga, blog, walk Bix, and write in my gratitude journal. The Daily Tasks list contains, as you would expect, the tasks I like to do every day, usually seven days a week. For the most part I have one task per card. Each is written on a card, which are like electronic sticky notes. The Backlog list contains my master task list. The past week’s Done Today lists (I keep seven days’ worth before they’re archived).The key lists with which I interact every day are (in left-to-right order): The extra goodness (confetti, stickers, cover art, divider cards).I’m going to break this post down into a few sections: (It’s the same photo I used in the previous post.)

If you’re a podcast listener, I’m glad you clicked over to this post and I hope you find it helpful. On Episode 118 of our podcast Getting to Good Enough, published today, my co-host Shannon and I discussed this task management system-which I’ve roped her into trying-and I promised listeners a granular blog post about how I use it. I’m holding less in my head, which gives me a clearer brain. I’ve used it every day (many times a day) for about four months now and it is helping me be more productive and, even more importantly, it’s keeping relatively stress-free. Now, three months later, I’m even more excited about it. As you can tell by the title of that post, I was really excited about this task-management system. The nitty gritty of my Trello daily task management boardīack in May, I wrote a blog post, called Trello + automation = productive bliss, about the daily task management Trello board I’d been using for a couple of weeks.
