Finding more cool ways to automate Trello with the PixieBrix Chrome Extension! I got the idea for this because I saw some folks doing it in Github so naturally I had to try in Trello. Here's how to create a button in your Trello boards that will notify your teammates what card you're working on! It was fairly easy to build…

Just a reminder! In case you missed it, there's a bunch of prizes and giveaways to wrap up the Trello Holiday Calendar! I know we're all slowly logging back online, so wanted to share this to make sure everyone had a chance to see if it they're interested! Deadline for entry is Jan 4th at 11:59pm.

Merry Christmas to those who celebrate! Today’s the last day of our Trello Holiday Calendar! Have you enjoyed it as much as I have? I hope so.

Been a big week hasn't it!?? Hopefull you've been enjoying the posts! As promised, here's this week's recap video (on Loom this time instead of YouTube link... trying out some different formats).

Hopefully you've been enjoying the Trello Holiday Calendar! (Not sure what that is? Head over here to see the inaugural post explaining it, and here's all the posts so far.) Santa asked if I could take it upon myself to do a weekly video recap of all this quality content, and who am I to say no to Santa? So... I'll just…

Happy December! (Seriously how is it already December?) Your favorite Trello super-nerd here reporting for holiday duty. Just spoke with Santa and co, and it turns out they have a lot of gifts for Trello fans this year, so they need to get started early. This year, I've organized a Trello Holiday Calendar right here in the…

I've already written about how Trello is greater than all the other project management tools in the world, and while I don't plan to ever stop talking about that, I thought I'd switch to proving that Trello is greater than non-project management tools. Yeah, that's right. In this post, I'm going straight for the jugular of…

👋 Hi friends! Been a while since I've posted an article, but I've seen a lot of questions about the Trello Chrome Extension, and I think I've found a nice workaround for those who don't have the extension since it got delisted recently. This one requires a bit of customization, but that's the beauty - you can make it do…

I hosted my first Trello event a few weeks ago, and it was absolutely a blast!! I had so much fun meeting other people and talking about Trello. I also got feedback that I maybe talked a little too fast cause I was so excited. I've had several people ask me for tips on how to plan trello events, so I thought I'd compile…

The Crmble Trello Power-Up just recently launched and it easily turns your board into a way to manage contacts. While it's main use is as a CRM, I realized there's actually a couple other ways you can use it, for just about any sort of contact management. One that I thought of was hiring and recruiting with Trello. (I'll…

Ever wondered how the jolliest gift-giver keeps track of everything this time of the year? 🎅 I have been wondering for years, and as a productivity enthusiast, I just had to know: How does one man do more in one night than most of us do in an entire year? So for my wish this year, I asked Santa to tell me how he stays…

Hey all! I was wondering how many people out there are currently using Trello as a CRM? I've definitely had some people in real life ask me about using Trello in this way, and I wrote a blog post on the Trello blog about it last year, but I wanted to get more ideas on how people are using Trello in this way and what…

I'm writing this on New Year's Eve as I decided to upgrade my annual review process with Trello this year and wanted to share in case anyone else was wanting to do the same. I've been planning my life in Trello for many many years, but this year I decided to bring everything together, make some upgrades, clean up my board,…

I know times like this are kinda scary for a lot of us, and a little sad and stressful too. Embracing remote work might sound likee a great idea, but it actually kinda sucks sometimes, especially if it's not something you're used to doing. But the truth is, there are also some upsides to it, and those can be easy to…

I recently teamed up with @Andy - PTC Redundant and hosted a virtual Trello Halloween Party, and it. was. a blast. Super successful event, and we had nearly 60 people RSVP! I was really excited for this event, and Andy, the Crmble team, the Unito team, and I put a lot of time into it, so we wanted to have as many friends…

A lot of us have had our worlds turned upside down a bit lately, and in the midst of all the chaos, we’ve found ways to adapt. It’s something that always inspires me about humanity - our resiliency to solve problems as they arise, and no matter how destructive something is, we don’t let it destroy us completely. Finding…

I've been helping out the Crmble team this year because I'm super impressed with what they're doing. They've automated a lot of things I initially wrote about building out from scratch in my Trello blog post about making a CRM workflow in Trello. When I first started working with them in January, they were essentially in…

I’ve been working with the Crmble team for a couple of months now, and they just released an exciting feature that is useful for lots of users… not just those of us creating CRMs in our Trello boards. I’ve long wondered why there isn’t a power-up that lets you import a CSV into Trello, but at long last, the day has…

Join us for an AMA with @Antonio Panea , founder of the Crmble power-up for Trello! (Haven't heard of Crmble? It's a featured Trello power-up that turns your board into a CRM and makes managing your contacts easy peasy!) Toni will answer any and every question you've had about what it's like to create a power-up, get over…

Working from home is all fun and games until you're working from home with somebody else, who is also working from home (or if they're kids, maybe they're playing from home more than usual these days). Suddenly all these articles about remote work are out the window. Your quiet haven that is without distractions from your…

I can't believe it's actually taken me this long to do this, but today I finally decided to move my reading list over from Goodreads to Trello and I'M SO EXCITED. I'm still working on getting it all set up, but here's a template, and below I'll describe the main premise and how it works. (I've also got all of these listed…

When working remotely, all your days can start to blend together. When that happens, it's easy to get burnt out. Which is... less than ideal. To help, I recommend using Trello (are you surprised?) to track daily habits and even incorporate a little journaling piece to help you stay grounded and focused to avoid total…

Trying to run a Butler command this morning (a board button to create a new card), and I'm getting a "network error" and it's not creating the card. Anyone else seeing this? Anything i should be changing or fixing on my end? I tried running again and got this I'll go ahead and reach out to support but was wondering if…

Although I just wrote about the blessings of working remote, it definitely comes with its challenges. I'll be the first to admit that! I'm sure many of you are also experiencing some frustrations in these trying times, so I thought it might be nice to give ourselves a space to share those so we can all entertain one…

As many of us are transitioning to working from home, if you're like me, you might find comfort in finding resources to help you learn more about how to excel at remote work. Although no book has a perfect strategy for how to work from home, many can help you understand how to better organize and optimize your ways of…
