Trello is essentially a web-based list-making app on steroids. I already used Google Calendar for some things, but the Google programs that integrated with it like Google Task just made my eyes cross. I desperately needed a system that could send me reminders but still allow me to tick off tasks in the kind of list-based space that made sense to my brain. Either I wouldn’t open the journal until I got home from school drop-off only to realize I had already missed an appointment or I’d get wrapped up in writing and completely forget about a conference call later that afternoon. But I found as my schedule filled up and my kids’ activities multiplied that I was consistently missing things. For the longest time, I was a paper planner devotee, and I experimented with everything from pre-printed spiral-bound planners, custom discbound planners, and even the Bullet Journal. It’s the new year, which means that we’re planning, organizing, or already feeling a little overwhelmed by the tasks looming on the horizon.
