ICM Blog Post Module 4 Post 2 | Project Management

Everyone should have their time organized, it’s certainly something I don’t do a lot of. It’s helpful to know when things are, what things you need to accomplish in the near future, distant future and it’s helpful to have some sort of visual in order to help you navigate all the stuff going on in your life.

After watching the video on the different project management apps, I decided on Trello.com. I agreed with the woman in the video who said she was admittedly more partial to the visuals that Trello had to offer compared to the other sites. 

My experience on Trello was extremely easy. It asked for my email and immediately showed me a very easy and interactive tutorial to teach my the basics of the platform. Each step of the way, it made me click along to make sure I was paying attention and grasping the concepts they were trying to teach. The tutorial was not long either, and it gave me an option to cancel the tutorial in case I wanted to figure out the app on my own.

Personally, I’ve never cared or thought too deeply about time management and having a good system to make sure that I follow through with slotting time for everything that needs attention in my life. I think that after setting up my Trello account, which was free by the way, I am definitely going to start thinking about this more often. I will give it a try tomorrow morning and have even already planned out my day tomorrow already (see photo below). 

It feels like it would be so much easier than just trying to remember everything in my head all the time. Those are the times when something gets forgotten, then everything else comes toppling over in succession after that. Trello seems like it can keep me on track, as long as I remember to check it often!
