    In this video, I share my personal productivity setup, using the Trello task management app.
    Overview of the lists in my personal productivity board is at 1:38
    The more specific tricks and shortcuts start at 9:05
    Trello is a free project management and task management app which is surprisingly powerful and useful, especially considering that it's free. It's what I've been using for a long time, to manage work for myself as well as with some of my teams. If you don't have Trello yet, you can sign up here, for free: trello.com/
    In this video, I walk you through how you can easily set up a personal productivity board, which will help you better stay on top of incoming tasks as well as ongoing projects.
    If you'd like to take a deep dive into how to become super productive, check out my course: bit.ly/facourse

    Excellent - "Braindump", "To Do", "Priority (This Week)", "Today", "Waiting", "Done". ---> excellent workflow design. Thank you for the video!

    I just wanted to give a quick endorsement for Shane. In the past year I have purchased about six courses. The only one course and teacher that I keep coming back to is Shane. He communicates clearly and provides actionable steps. I recommend Active Growth and Thrive Themes 100%.

    This is simple and wonderful. The majority of Trello content seems to be focused on teams rather than individuals. Thank you very much.

    As I self isolating because of the coronavirus am using this time to finish personal projects that have taken me years to finish. I now see why my work colleagues love this. Thank you so much.

  • @michelledoyle7659
    @michelledoyle7659 Před 5 lety +1

    This is great. I like the style with you in the bottom right-hand corner and then popping out. Of course the content is great. I am working in a team and have to start using it. Didn't think to use it on a personal level. Looking forward to more tips.

    Thanks a lot for this video. Great explanation. Downloaded Trello after I saw one of my friends using it but kept it on my phone for several weeks until haven't seen your video. Thank you very much.

    @Komaticom Před 3 lety +3

    Good refresher on using Trello. Been using it for years for work, life admin, holiday planning My challenge has been boards getting cluttered up to the point where there's simply too much happening in any column (or to do list grows faster than I can clear it).

  • @Rycamcam
    @Rycamcam Před 5 lety +1

    This seems much more efficient than a bullet journal. I suppose you lose a little something from not being able to touch pen to paper, but this looks like a big time saver. Thanks!

    I set this up today! I'm ready to be productive! I had my tasks written as notes all over the place before, tasks were getting lost.

  • @sethbarton9202
    @sethbarton9202 Před 6 lety +4

    Shane, thanks for the productivity tips and process. I've been trying to think of ways to organize Personal Goals, Family Goals, Work Goals, Career Goals, New Business Ideas, Daily Routine (You covered this one in this video), and many other things. I also use it for my research internship, where we have a small team.

    • @ActiveGrowth
      @ActiveGrowth  Před 6 lety

      Thanks for your comment, Seth! It gets more difficult the more different projects you add. I personally don't use Trello for all these different areas of my life. For example, for personal goals, I mainly use tracking tools and personal KPI as described here: activegrowth.com/personal-kpi-tools/

    @pauls7056 Před 4 lety +6

    Thank you so much for this tutorial. Juggling starting my own business, grad school, teaching, multiple leadership roles and committees, and home life, I have yet to find a productivity system to handle it all and not slow me down. Being able to see the big picture at the same time as the small details helps to make sense of the chaos. I think your system and Trello are the solution.
