HELLO TRELLO 👋💙

Following on from @Erica Moss' awesome article about why There's a lot to love about the next evolution of Trello Community here is my Hello Trello discussion!

 

FUN MAN ANDY 😎🌟🤘

My name is Andy, referred to by some within the Community as Fun Man Andy ! (Many thanks to @Fabienne Gerhard for both the nickname and the honour. You're the best!) 

By day I am a Project Manager running Augmented Reality strategic projects at TWNKLS AR, A PTC Company.

On the weekends I am a family man: Mr Barker! But also a poet, artist and musician: Urban Gorilla Boy (very much amateur... but very much enjoying it!)

But by NIGHT...! I pretty much spend all my free time as Fun Man Andy within the Atlassian Community, both here online, and at Community Events (formally AUGs) as the Chapter Leader for Rotterdam ! :)

[Maybe we might even start a new Trello Event Netherlands... oooh.... mysterious!]

 

MY TRELLO BOARD 📁✒️

I use Trello for a variety of activities, both individually and within teams! It varies from managing my own personal hobbies, the house chores, working as a Community Leader, fitness regime and even holidays! 

My favourite board in particular is my MöeZiek 🎧🎹🎤🎵 one, where I manage all my singing / songwriting. Thanks to Trello I have really knuckled under and made leaps and bounds in my progress, instead of tiny irrelevant baby steps.

Wanna know how awesome my music sounds...? Come to Summit2020 where I've promised @Jimmy Seddon I will serenade him live!

Our company also uses Trello for Development projects... like the amazing award winning IKEA Place app. But more on that in an upcoming article of mine!

MY TOP TRELLO TIPS 🏆👏

Coincidentally I am writing an awesome article on top tips for someone who doesn't use Trello optimally (like myself until I started really going for it in 2019). It'll be ready by end of September!

Out of that article my #1 tip would be: JUST DO IT! There is nothing worse than getting inspired to start up a board, going at it full pelt for a day or two, then dropping it for a month or two. Trust me, I know. Been there, done that, got the T-Shirt. (literally... I have Trello swag!) Best advice? 10min a day, everyday!

On top of that though definitely a golden tip: come to Community for inspiration!! If you start following Trello Legends like Erica, @Cassie Mayes  @Jodi LeBlanc@Brittany Joiner@Iain Dooley  and more, you'll quickly be in the perfect company to take your Trello skills (and love) to infinity, and beyond!!

 

BONUS FUN MAN ANDY TIPS 🧐👌

I wouldn't be Fun Man Andy if I didn't share these links:

Commence the procrastination and fun!!!

In all honesty I feel a bit bad... I got to Jodi, my mind went blank and then I just flounced out with the "and more" bit, so THANKS for putting them forward. Must edit accordingly!

Ooh i love this! And also, i couldn't agree more with your advice. Just do it - get in there and play with it and you'll figure things out and find workflows that improve your life. 

I find I have to be careful when i first tell people about trello, because i want to just shout off the bat all the cool things I do with it, but then people get overwhelmed. So I try to be like, you can do a lot of cool stuff with it, but start small, and work your way up to add on more pieces as they come rather than forcing yourself to create the perfect masterboard on your first go.

Yes @Brittany Joiner you are totally right!
Nah... don't be careful - just keep up the same old high spirited cheer leading! No point hiding your passion! But yes... start small. No one can be a Brittany on the first go ✨👍🤩

Love my Fun Man Andy @Andy - PTC Redundant - wasn't there a thought about earning a badge? @Monique vdB my suggestions would definitly be something with gifs

 

What a pitty that Trello is not working here @ work :( 

Super interesting Andy that we have an overlap in working area - we're selling our products to IKEA (to make them produce their products) and you help them selling their products 
And the swedes are everywhere....
