Rescue Time, takes a cigarette

I have really got into tracking my time in the last few months. It is out of frustration rather than amazingness needing to hand in time sheets. I don’t like trading time for money, it is dumb in this day and age and even dumber if you are a freelancer or indie worker, but that is another blog. If you are wondering about the David Bowie picture, well I love him and need to get a refinance in as often as I can! But read on there is some blogging gold coming up. I think. Time Taking. I have be

Time tracking in Trello using Toggl

Time tracking used to mean complicated spreadsheets and boring time-sheets that you were forced to fill in every Friday afternoon. In recent years this industry has seen a massive online resurgence. The time tracking app Toggl consistently ranks as one of the most popular tools and we decided to take a deeper look at how it integrates with Trello. Getting started Toggl and Trello are made by different companies, so you will need to sign up for the two of them. Both tools offer free accounts a

Which Trello Power-Up is right for you?

Trello recently announced a massive change to their power-ups functionality. Trello Power-Ups are used to turn features like the calendar or third-party app integration on and off. The basic power-ups used to be free. However, you will now be forced to choose just one power-up for your free Trello boards. To help you make that choice we provide an in-depth guide to all the Trello power-ups that are currently available. In the past, Trello allowed 3 Power-Ups for the free version of Trello: Cale

Our round-up of the best Trello extensions

Trello is simple to use and easy to learn. On the other hand, it still can't do some pretty basic things.

To help you out in these sticky situations, we've compiled a list of the best Trello extensions. They run right in your web browser and add missing features.

Getting Back On The Horse

So here I am again about to cut my eye out with a spoon. Every day I get a little bit more behind and then a little sadder. Sorry, I'll make this quick. I am not crying into my milkshake or anything like that, it is just a kick in the teeth, my teeth and I kicked them in. I am a few days behind with my blog and catching up! I am on this "blog everyday thing" - how stupid is that? I mean how long does it take you to write 750 Words? Hours? Days? A whole morning? About 30 minutes. Oh. So th

What Do You Wish Other People Knew About #Trello?

The best part about Trello is how it is a blank canvas and you can do what you want, it took us a while to appreciate that, so with this post and the workshops we run in our coworking space we are out to help people "find their Trello voice."

I Am So Angry

I am so £ucking angry, except I am not. Let me rephrase that, I am aware of trigger points. No that is not what I mean either. So the above few lines are a bit like my head is sometimes and the impression I give to people, particularly the people who are closest and I have known the longest. Headspace The meditation app on my phone tells me I have enjoyed 508 sessions lasting an average of 22 minutes each since signing up in 2013. Add to this at least another 50 sessions in other apps, Echo

Falling Towards Poland - Part One

It was spring 2004 and yet again I was standing at a urinal in the Hamilton Hall in Liverpool Street Station in London pissing out another 10 rounds of shit beer with a chaser of vodka and Redbull. Everything was too much or not enough, I was more lost than a something in a something. The posters inviting me to consider a career as a Witherspoon Pub manager in the toilet were starting to develop a very unwelcome allure, this would mean I could plug into something and not have to think. You co

World Of Bernie - FAQ's

I got myself into a little bit of very constructive trouble this week. With two clicks on my phone, I was part of two blogging challenges. Day Two of the ProBlogger on is right a FAQ post. You can listen to Darren's podcast instructions here. Being a Freelancer, a 'hired gun, an independent economic agent I don't have a lot of FAQ's like an accountant or VP of Product does. I thought long and hard about these so you had better take notes. 1. Are you on your way Bernie? I am so shit at bein

I'm Living On Process Street

Today? Already? Bloody hell this is tricky. But I have discovered something so groundbreaking it is going to be the making of my blogging career. I can share it right here, right now before anyone else in the World finds out - think of it as your exclusive reader first. Here it is: Having a process helps. Take a few minutes to let that sink in and you'll be able to appreciate the true extent of that "pro tip" I just shared with you. Making Ideas Happen I have always been a bit crap at the
