How to use the Trello Calendar to meet your deadlines Introduction Perhaps you already know Trello as an easy-to-use project management tool and online to-do list. Did you know that you can also use Trello to schedule your time, set deadlines and integrate with your appointments and other calendars? Let me show you how in 3 easy steps. 3 Steps to Set up the Trello Calendar Step 1: Set a Due Date on a Trello Card To begin with, you will need to set a due date on a Trello card. This is str

How can I add recurring cards to Trello?

Are you using Trello to organise your life, your business or a particular project? Then you've probably wanted to create cards that repeat on a regular basis. Most calendars support recurring events, so is there an equivalent in Trello? How can you create recurring cards in Trello? It's one of the questions that we get asked a lot in the Trello workshops and that also affects us in our own lives. For example: We invoice clients on a monthly basis, review our Google Analytics stats at month end

Trello Tip: Make your meetings 1000 times more productive

The Win: Make your meetings, phone calls, Skype calls massively more productive. Keep track of what is decided during meetings, phone calls, Skype calls. Easily create tasks and assign them to members of your team. The Problem: During a call, it's easy to make decisions, plan the next move, come up with a brilliant strategy. Everybody agrees on the next few steps. Some may take notes. But often the details are forgotten, nobody takes action afterwards and the meeting ends up being an unproducti

Trello Tip: Keep track of lots of projects at the same time

The Win: You'll be able to keep track of all your projects at the same time, across multiple Trello boards and gives you back a feeling of control. The Pain: Once you start using Trello in earnest, you automatically end up with lots of boards. It can become difficult to keep track of what you should be doing where and to get insight into all your projects without having to switch between boards all the time. As a result you miss important tasks and become an inefficient manager. Possible solut

Retrospective: My Trello workshop at Hubud in Bali

My family and I are currently travelling in Bali and Australia for a few months. It's our last chance for a grand gesture before our son starts school back in London in September. For the last 5 weeks I've been stationed at the lovely Hubud co-working space in Ubud, Bali. If you've ever wanted to work in a hammock while monkeys are sitting in the trees above you, this is the place to go! Not to mention the amazing group of highly focussed international entrepreneurs, digital nomads and online ex

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

The No Complain Diet.

I have managed to glean a huge amount of time this year. Most of it has been a result of keeping my mouth shut. The biggest chunk of keeping my mouth shut has come from not complaining. Sorry to shatter your idea of happy nice guy Bernie.... Being negative about other people and things without really doing my homework is something I have been guilty of with alarming regularity. The problem is that it is way easier to complain than it is to be happy. Obviously I need to do a bit more research to

90 Days of Massive Action #01

I think I am finally there. While we were up on a mountain in Italy for the OuiShare summit a lot of things came together for me. At one point I was chatting and said I am not sure why I came, even more so, I brought #babybernie too and he did not know why I came either. So the headline is that I left full of a calm zest and purpose. What should have been the end of the road again for me turned into one of the best months in my life. I would even dare to say that I woke up after a long slee

Five things that are working well for me this week #101

1. Grass Fed Irish Butter in my coffee. Ok there is a little bit more to this. On Dave Asprey's BulletProof food plan your breakfast is a big mug of high grade coffee served with grass fed butter and MCT oil (High grade coconut Oil) this is all blended together to produce a delicious, rich and creamy coffee. I have found the decaf version works best for me, it seems as soon as I put more than a small amount of caffeine in my body I get cravings for sweet food and my judgemental arsehole persona

Why a Mailchimp email is better than a Facebook page

I am always getting a kick in from people about emails. I don't like WORKING in email - it is a time suck and a closed loop. Where as tools like Trello, Asana and the amazing Slack allow open and transparent collaborative communication. My point today is about email lists - I call mine my "email community" and I am clear I need them more then they need me. I refer to the big list in Mailchimp as my 'community' because 'list' feels like I am going to 'send out an email blast' which is like thr

Mile End vs Bernie World

I am on the way home and have been walking through a part of my life that I have not seen for a while. Three or four "Bernie Worlds" collided tonight in a really good way. Every time I am around the stretch of London that runs from Brick Lane to Mile End I get transported back in time. I forget for a few minutes that I have a home, a family and purpose and instead drift back to when I lived in this area and did not know where I was going the next day let alone five years time. I still don't k
