[AccessD] Microsoft Access and Trello

[John W. Clark]

I am listening in to y'all on this because it sound like it might be something for me.


My job recently became extremely hectic and I feel as though I am drowning in work. Part of the problem is that the jobs are coming in so rapidly...anywhere from 3-6 for ever one I complete. Another issue is that I am not naturally a very organized person...it is not come natural to me and I have to work at it. And a 3rd factor is that the jobs are quite varied...one call might be regarding IP phones, then the next one is about email, and then a program issue followed by a network user who needs rights to some obscure directory.


I was trying to flag them in email as they came in, but some are phone calls and in person. So, then I began using my white board...it has always been my saving grace; my Jiminy Cricket of organization...but that isn't working this time either. I'm thinking that, because this goes on my computer at work and has an app for my phone, I can come into my day already organized and if I begin that way it might carry on.


Basically, after my whole rant (Tina knows how I can be) I'm just saying I appreciate the conversation.

Tina,

I am by no means a Trello expert.  I have watched quite a few Trello training videos while at the local fitness center (all machines have flat screens for internet access).
I have also experimented with many of the Trello features.

One of the things that I like is the flexibility of Trello that allows a person to do things "their way" instead of being forced into a certain method by the software.

However, such flexibility also can be a bit confusing.  One person may use Trello one way and a second person may use the product another way.

I currently have Trello set up for multiple projects with one board per project.  Therefore I flip between boards to see the tasks that I need to work on today.

I could have set up a single Trello board with one or more lists for each project.  This would provide a single place to look for today's work.

Another method would be to have a "To Do Immediately" list with tasks from multiple projects.  There is a "Card Linking" feature in Trello that I have not yet played with.  I will let you know what I learn from my experiments with linking cards.

I am curious how you are using Trello and what other tools you have looked at or are currently using.

Thanks,
Brad

I have Trello. I thought I was going to really like it, and for some things I do. If I had one project to see through from beginning to end, I think I would like it better.

What I want is a product that will let me look at today, for example, and show me what is needed for each of the projects I have running.

Have you found a way to do that with Trello?

I have started to experiment with Trello and the more I work with it, the more I like it.  I am starting to use it both at work and on the home front to keep track of projects, tasks, to-do lists, vacation plans, etc, etc.
