I’m interested to know what works for all of you guys in terms of making sure you are using most of your time properly in terms of things that need to be done around the house especially when there’s a lot to do and manage. I know there are many systems out there that people find to be best for their lifestyle etc. but I’ll be honest, although I would say I’m fairly well educated, I never did learn a proper system of management. It seems that although I am very handy and all that, I could do a better job at time management , work prioritization etc. Just remembering things or writing down in a little notebook doesn’t cut it anymore. Any seminar videos or reading material that works for you would be much appreciated!
We just started using Trello at work for project management and I plan on using it for my next big home improvement project.
That looks great! Thank you, is it something I can print up etc.? I want to have a “To-Do” type of wall in the home.
No idea how much support it offers for printing. The whole point of us moving to it was to get away from paper. It has full support for phone and tablet browsers though which really cuts down the need for paper.
We use Trello at work as well, and have for over a year. Works great.
I sometimes use it at home for planning and organizing projects. I have a column for small <60 minute projects, <4 hours, and then larger projects get their own column. I do this because I work close to home and go home at lunch, so any small projects, or <4 hr projects that can be broken down into 30-45 minute chunks I will tackle during lunch. The other <4 hour ones can get done after work. For larger projects, I create a column for each project, and break it down into sub-steps so I can track progress.
