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

Trello is one (important) piece of a much larger puzzle... kzfaq.info/get/bejne/kOCpaZupsri4oZc.html

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 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.

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).

Fantastic vid!! Thank you. I’m busy setting up SOP’s for a client on Trello to maximise productivity and eliminate ‘buck passing’. Your tips on the shortcuts definitely will make my life easier - thank you !

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!

@pauls7056 4 жыл бұрын

Thank you, Shane. I found Trello yesterday. I found To-Do lists then dragging things to calendars just never worked for me. Trello seems to give a complete overview and your video really helped push me many weeks further than if I'd just experimented. Great video.

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 6 жыл бұрын

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/

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.
