Trello has my back

This simple time management tool has changed my life!

Trello has my back

It's spring, the season to clean and organize. At least that's what they say. It just so happens that I have really made a big push forward to make full use of a cool organizational tool that I'd heard about but never really got into using. I'm using www.Trello.com to organize my life! I started using it to plan for a trip that I took in 2018, but now I use it for almost everything. Here are just a few ways I use it. I use it to take notes for my classes, track my exercise, to keep track recipes that I find online, to organize makeup looks that I like, and I'm supposed to be using it to organize my housework. I love Trello. I have to admit that I started using it to organize my place, but I'm still having trouble sticking to a cleaning schedule. Trello.com might not encourage you to clean your toilet when you really don't feel like it, but it can let you know when it's time to clean that sucker, and it could help remind you of the last time that you did that dirty work.

There are plenty of ways to use Trello, and here's a more detailed example of how I use it. Since Trello is an organizational board comprised of categories and cards (so it looks like a giant grid) when I take notes for class, I write topics on each card and then I click on the card to reveal information about the topic. So, if I am taking a class on grammar, for example, I might have the word, "conjunctions" on the front of the card and have the types of conjunctions on the back of the card. In this example, I would make a different Trello board for each class that I take. It's also neat that I could attach things to each individual card, so it can also function a little like Pinterest.

So, you can have a Trello board with different hairstyles that you like, your dream cars, travel destinations for your next vacation, makeup looks, and just about anything else that you can image. You can attach images to create a large visual Trello board, and you can write more information about each topic on the description cards. Imagine that!

Access Trello on your Smart Phone and you can have your notes in an organized and easy-to-read Trello board wherever you are. I keep track of my workouts right there at the gym. Sure, I have a fitness tracker, but it's easier for my to check my Trello board on my phone and see all of the exercises that I need to do on that day and also see the reps and weights that I completed during my last visit. I always know what I've done and what I want to do next. It's up to me to get the work done.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
