Blog Post Series: Finding Your Right Fit for a Task Management System
When it comes to task management, there’s no one-size-fits-all solution. At florandorder, we know that every person has unique workflows, priorities, and energy levels, which is why finding the right task management system is key to feeling in control. Plus sometimes, we just don’t like the look or vibe of one tool! Which is fair. The best tool is the one that you are going to use.
In this blog series, we’ll explore different tools, breaking down what each offers and how they can help you sort your life and work more effectively. By the end of the series, you’ll be equipped to choose a system that suits your needs and empowers your productivity—without the overwhelm.
Ever feel like your to-do list is more of a wish list? Like you’re constantly juggling tasks but never actually seeing progress? I’ve been there too. The good news is that there’s a tool that can help you get your ducks in a row (and maybe even make the process fun!)—and it’s called Trello.
If you’re like me, you want a system that feels as smooth and organised as that mental checklist you dream about having, but in real life. Trello has been a tool that has helped many clients for not only sorting out work projects but also keeping life admin in check. So, whether you’re sorting your work or life, Trello helps you bring clarity and calm to the chaos.
What is Trello?
Think of Trello as a digital whiteboard where you can list out everything on your plate, from work tasks to personal errands, and even those passion projects you’ve been meaning to get to. The beauty of it? You can see everything at a glance. I like to call it a “staging area”—helping you break down big tasks into bite-sized, doable pieces.
How Trello Helps You Sort Your Work
Let’s start with the work side of things. Picture this: You’ve got multiple projects on the go. There are emails, meetings, deadlines, and somehow, you need to stay on top of all of it without burning out. Trello lets you organise tasks into boards and lists so you can visually track each step of your project. You can:
- Break big projects into smaller, more digestible tasks (hello, overwhelm relief!)
- Add due dates and reminders to keep things on track
- Move tasks from “To Do” to “Done” with that oh-so-satisfying drag-and-drop feature
With Trello, you’re not just managing tasks; you’re creating a system that works with your brain, not against it. And if you’re managing a team, Trello lets everyone see the same board and stay aligned on deadlines and responsibilities.
Sorting Your Life (Yes, Trello Does That Too!)
Trello isn’t just for work; it’s an amazing tool for sorting life’s admin as well. I’ve seen clients who use it to keep track of everything. Grocery lists? Check. Personal goals? Check. Travel plans? Double check. You can create different boards for different parts of your life and customize each one to suit your style. It helps to clear the mental clutter and makes room for things like rest and play (and you know, I’m all about that balance).
Here’s how you can start sorting your life with Trello:
- Create a Personal Board: Start with a “Life” board where you can organise areas like errands, meal planning, or even self-care routines.
- Track Goals: Use Trello to map out personal goals—whether it’s fitness milestones, reading lists, or even weekend adventures.
- Stay Flexible: One of the best things about Trello is that you can move tasks around without the guilt. You’re not locked into one rigid schedule. If something doesn’t happen today, it can move to tomorrow without the drama.
A Tool for Holistic Sorting
When it comes to organising, Trello isn’t just a tool—it’s the backbone of your system.
Whether you’re looking to sort your work with professional projects or sort your life by keeping track of personal responsibilities, Trello helps you take control with intention. It’s about setting yourself up for success, so you can focus on what matters most—without sacrificing your well-being in the process.
At florandorder, I’m all about supporting you in finding your unique flow. Trello is just one of many tools that can help you do that. So, if you’re ready to start sorting out your work and your life, why not give it a go?
