Trello has my back

This simple time management tool has changed my life!

Trello has my back

It's spring, the season to clean and organize. At least that's what they say. It just so happens that I have really made a big push forward to make full use of a cool organizational tool that I'd heard about but never really got into using. I'm using www.Trello.com to organize my life! I started using it to plan for a trip that I took in 2018, but now I use it for almost everything. Here are just a few ways I use it. I use it to take notes for my classes, track my exercise, to keep track recipes that I find online, to organize makeup looks that I like, and I'm supposed to be using it to organize my housework. I love Trello. I have to admit that I started using it to organize my place, but I'm still having trouble sticking to a cleaning schedule. Trello.com might not encourage you to clean your toilet when you really don't feel like it, but it can let you know when it's time to clean that sucker, and it could help remind you of the last time that you did that dirty work.

There are plenty of ways to use Trello, and here's a more detailed example of how I use it. Since Trello is an organizational board comprised of categories and cards (so it looks like a giant grid) when I take notes for class, I write topics on each card and then I click on the card to reveal information about the topic. So, if I am taking a class on grammar, for example, I might have the word, "conjunctions" on the front of the card and have the types of conjunctions on the back of the card. In this example, I would make a different Trello board for each class that I take. It's also neat that I could attach things to each individual card, so it can also function a little like Pinterest.

So, you can have a Trello board with different hairstyles that you like, your dream cars, travel destinations for your next vacation, makeup looks, and just about anything else that you can image. You can attach images to create a large visual Trello board, and you can write more information about each topic on the description cards. Imagine that!

Access Trello on your Smart Phone and you can have your notes in an organized and easy-to-read Trello board wherever you are. I keep track of my workouts right there at the gym. Sure, I have a fitness tracker, but it's easier for my to check my Trello board on my phone and see all of the exercises that I need to do on that day and also see the reps and weights that I completed during my last visit. I always know what I've done and what I want to do next. It's up to me to get the work done.

Everyone who is in college right now, or has ever been, knows the struggle of pulling in the strings at the last second. It seems impossible, and you have to do a LOT of things in order to assure your future for the next semester.

April Ludgate, historically, is a very annoyed person, and she doesn't hide it. Of all the times that I binged and re-binged "Parks and Rec," her attitude relates more and more to me.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.
