How to see all your Trello cards in one place

Here's a short but sweet mid-week tip on how to see all your Trello cards in one place. If you're anything like me you've got loads of different Trello boards set up. I checked just now and I have about 80! That means there are potentially tasks waiting for me across 80 Trello boards! I can already feel the panic rising :) And yet I still sleep well at night. Let me share my secret with you. All your cards in one place You can try it right now, point your browser here: https://trello.com/me

90 Days of Massive Action #3

I have never ever ever ever ever tracked and reviewed what I do so deeply as I do now. Short post - I am making serious progress in my "days of massive action" quest. Longer Post It hurts when I miss something, fuck something up, feel shit, get low on energy, low on money, low on motivation and many other things. It hurts for a few seconds and then I know what to do. Mainly "what to do" is to keep moving, keep momentum and part of that means sitting still and meditating everyday. Making tim

7 key tips for using Trello for Scrum software development

Over the years, I've coded and managed 100s of web and mobile development projects. Most of them were delivered using Scrum or related agile methodologies. As a company, we've gradually settled on Trello as our de-facto project management tool. It's not immediately obvious how you would use Trello for Scrum out of the box, so I would like to show you the setup that we've adopted at DN Digital. Before we get started: What is Scrum? Scrum is a popular way to manage software development project

My Cheeky Landing Page Question Stunt

I thought it was just me? I am quite sure that I am the ONLY person in iTunes who has thought of asking the listener what they'd like to ask the guest. So here is where the idea came from. The best panel events I have run have been Q&A all the way. I always had to get Andy Bargery to chair the panel as I'd end up laughing at my own jokes and get into arguments. Seeing people at events "pontificate" from the stage vs doing Q&A is always a closed deal for me - Q&A wins. This post by Gary V a

90 Days of Massive Action #2 (Prequel)

Mandela was pacing the room, he was forced to walk in circles around the small conference table in the middle of the meeting room at 90 Mainyard. Ghandi was drawing on the white board in between a mind map the developers had left and the business canvas the musicians had left, to Mandela's annoyance Ghandi was making faces and animals. Nelson, this one could be a swastika if I rubbed out the number 2 said Ghandi with a cheeky smile. Why are you so annoyed today? It is not good for your brand i

Getting it all in.

As #Babybernie has grown up I have shouted "focus" at him when he was doing things like learning to eat with a fork for the first time or was holding onto the sofa to try and walk. This killer comedy line has come back to bite me in the arse. The arse bite happened at the Rural Hub in Italy at the OuiShare summit, every time I was presenting a project or suggesting something in front of the community - yes in those precious moments when everyone is obligated to at least look like they were lis

Am I Unemployable?

I thought I was doomed, weird and broken, now I know there are others like me We are the unemployable. There are a lot of us around, and most of us have read the Cluetrain Manifesto. It’s our guide. . I was playing golf with podcasting legend Neville Hobson a few years ago and he proudly said 'I'm unemployable'. I thought, “Neville you drive an Audi, wear jumpers without logos and open doors for ladies - how can you be unemployable?” Then we started to talk about tech, leadership and sales

"Be the change you want to see"

My big screen on my desk at 90 Main Yard has a cute picture - "Be the change you want to see" - I would like not to be an arsehole - but I am. I’d like to see a world with fewer arseholes in it. For those of you near me I am working on this - NOT being an arsehole that is. It is very tempting to make the picture for this post an actual arsehole, but then I am sure you'd think I am even more of one. Over the last few weeks, I have been drilling my head to find the line between energy with fir

Loomio

So I have been getting a bit of flack from people about my no-email post from earlier in the week. I want to explain my position in a little more detail. Tools I work with other people with are: loomio - for open collaborative decision making. Around forty of us make decisions in an open and transparent online environment. Trello / Asana / Basecamp This again is an open and transparent working environment where we can all share files, updates and ideas. In a deliciously short amount of time
