Don't Make These Trello Newbie Mistakes
Plus what are board cards and how can you use them?
Tr-hello there!! Happy Thursday!! Let’s dive right in, shall we?
Trello Tip
Paste the link to a board as the title of a card, and it will convert to a “Board Card”. Looks nice, and now you’re just a click away from going right to the board!
It’s a great way to have one place to reference all of your boards if you have multiple. (Or.. hundreds like I do.)

Brittany’s Bets
Do you like newsletters? Of course you do, that’s why you’re reading this.
If you’re into tech and business news, you’d probably be interested in reading the Morning Brew newsletter**. It’s not a new find of mine, by any means, but I’m only going to recommend quality stuff here and nothing new made the cut this week!
Morning Brew gives you quick snippets of your business and world news and it’s provided in a really entertaining manner. I hate reading the news these days, but this is literally the only way I prefer to consume it because Morning Brew is:
straightforward, no fluff, no party news
entertaining, and typically gets at least one chuckle out of me in the morning (when was the last time you said that about reading the news?)
takes less than 5 minutes to read (often like 2-3)
really touches on all the important things - I don’t think there’s been any events that I didn’t know about and wans’t covered in MB
It’s totally free and lands in your inbox around 6 am EST every morning so it’s ready for you for whenever you want to spend a couple minutes to easy into the day. (Unfortunately, coffee is not provided with it.)
**Yes this is a referral link, and yes I’m saving up for the Brew Backpack thank you very much.
