Needs Clarification (for projects that need further thought or planning)Īnything new that I want to capture goes into the Inbox list.Top-level bullets are boards, and sub-items are lists on the Inbox Here’s how I have my GTD lists set up right now. This makes it easy to keep project-specific information (supporting documentation, thoughts, links) tied to the task or project. In addition to the title field, cards include a description field (which accepts Markdown formatted text), checklists, labels, and a comments thread. This makes it easy to manage groups of related tasks and easily escalate tasks into full projects.Ĭards can also hold a wealth of metadata. This helps me digest the information and allows me to use an item’s physical location to assign meaning.Īnother major strength of Trello is that it provides several tiers of organization: boards, cards, checklists. ![]() Trello’s boards and cards address this by adding a spatial dimension to my lists. These rows tend to merge into a solid mass of data that I can’t easily parse. GTD involves managing many small tasks, and most to-do management tools present to-dos as line items in a grid. This kanban board approach fits well with my workflow. In Trello, the team at Fog Creek has maintained the simplicity and flexibility of the real-world kanban board while unobtrusively layering on a wealth of sophisticated features. ![]() Units of work are represented with Post-It notes or index cards, sorted into columns. The concept behind Trello derives from the kanban board, which at its simplest is just a cork board on the office wall. Trello is about as close to a perfect platform for GTD as I could imagine. They all have their strengths, but each was missing some key element that left me wanting more. Since discovering Getting Things Done four years ago, I’ve tried just about every task management system out there: text files, Remember the Milk, Toodledoo, Evernote, OneNote, Outlook, paper, hipster PDAs.
