Testing a new format out this week. We’re a series of links in true roundup style, and when you want to dive deeper into a specific topic, just click that link and read it now or save it for later.
Also introducing a NEW section! It’s called 🍷Pairs well with Trello, and I’ll be sharing anything I come across that isn’t necessarily Trello itself, but works great alongside it (could be general productivity principles and workflows, or tools to add to your toolbox).
🌮 Taco is hungry! Submit your questions 🗞️ Upcoming events - let’s chat email in Trello 🛎️ Enable Trello focus mode 💡 Capture and organize your links 💪 Tiny Power-Ups that pack a punch ⚡ [PREMIUM] My favorite automation variables 🍷 Use AI to capture tasks from meetings and slack
🌮 Dear Taco
This is a section where readers can submit their Trello questions, and each week I’ll pick one and answer it! It’s like “Dear Abby” but make it trello. Have a question you want to submit? Share it here.
taco is hungry!!! Submit your questions and they might be featured next week!
Let’s talk about handling email in Trello next week! We’ll show off some handy Power-Ups that will make email a breeze, whether you’re a Gmail or Outlook user.
I haven’t built any new boards this week, but I did revamp my board that manages this newsletter! I keep track of links I come across each week by organizing them all in lists so I can just grab and drop in here when it comes time to send the newsletter!
You can do this, too, to keep track of resources you want to collect. Just make a list for each and then use iPhone share features, PixieBrix mods, or other automation tools to quickly the capture link to your board.
Looking for more ways to get more out of Trello? Try some of these board templates.
Not a sponsor, but have you heard fo the Tiny Power-Ups Club?
It’s an ex-Trello developer who has built a bunch of little Power-Ups that do really cool things, and you can get access to the whole bundle of them for $10 a month (pretty average cost for even just ONE Power-Up, let alone 19 of them).
Here are some of my favorites:
External Share 👉 if you want some of your board shareable, but not all of it
Table View 👉 table view that includes custom fields and better filters
Welcome to the newest section of this lovely newsletter! Here we will share things that maybe aren’t hosted under the Trello or Atlassian domain per se, but work well together and scratch that productivity itch many of us share.
Today we’re talking about Hoop. It’s actually built by some ex-Trello folks, so you know it’s gonna be good. I recently tried it out and I’ve really been loving it.
