Thank you so much for the video. I’ve been trying to find a program/app for GTD that works for my personality type, and this one looks like it will be the best fit. I’ll explore it some more. Thank you again! 🙏🏻
Great video! Thank you! I currently have a Trello account and am trying many other apps as well and have been struggling (and spending way too much unproductive time) on how to set up a GTD system that works for me 🙃🤔. I was just about to cancel my Trello account but now that I’ve seen your video I’m going to try implementing some of your great ideas. I like how you’ve kept it streamlined. I was sad that I couldn’t seem to figure out how to make Trello work for me because I really like how visual and colorful Trello is. I think somehow it’s the colors and images that help keep me motivated! Thanks again! 🙏
Hello @denisehoward4600! I'm so glad this was helpful. I agree with you - the visual component of Trello is really attractive to me. I like to change up my backgrounds a lot. The novelty of that definitely keeps me engaged. I'd love to hear how the changes work for you.😄-Mary
Thanks for a great video. I’m a very visual learner, so found this very helpful. I’m using Trello and playing around with various layouts so seeing how you approached this gave me food for thought. I’ve just finished reading Threefold Thursday which talks about managing your next actions. It was also interesting for me to see the small number of actions on your next action list. Again a skill I need to continue to work on.
Thanks for this. Could you say more about the part at @6:50 about linking project cards to your Next Actions board? Are you creating a new card on the Next Actions board, then copy/pasting a link to the card that is already there on the projects board? If so, do you then title the new card with the next action on the project? And if that's what you're doing... do you feel like this is a lot of friction? It seems like a lot of clicking. I'm really curious because I've tried Trello in the past for GTD but always got stuck on getting "next actions" on projects to be visible on my "Next Actions" lists without tons of clicking, copying, pasting, etc. There are power-ups that can help with this but they usually come with a subscription fee 😢
Hi @RobertTalbert, these are great questions, particularly in regards to if I feel friction with this setup. I don't, honestly. This setup works for me; it might not work for others and that feeling of friction is important to pay attention to. One more piece of my setup is that once I attach a NA card to a project card I have that option to "connect the cards". This is less clicks for me.
@pvanharmelen, I'm not using the paid version of Trello in this video. Thank you for this question - I realized I didn't clarify that in the video. -Mary

Hi @carajonkers1390 - I'm so glad you found this helpful. I love #ThreefoldThursday! All the best to you as you keep working on your system. ☺
will you also share how you set up the other boards?

Very interesting. Thank you. I used to use Trello for GTD but I made it too complicated. Are you using the paid version of Trello?
