The transition went well and I’m not sure why I didn’t think to use Trello sooner. I was also able to set checklists and add deadlines to projects to better keep myself on task. The process took a little less than an hour, but I was able to decide what I wanted to keep for ideas and what would no longer work. I finally sat down one early morning and transferred all of my writing notes from OneNote to Trello. At this point I figured if Trello could work so well for everyone else in my life, why was I still putting up with OneNote for my personal writing workflow? Trello got another big push when I set up an account for Damage Control to keep track of our writing projects.
Additionally, I noticed a lot of my artist friends using the program to keep track of their queues and workflow. The program worked flawlessly on desktop via browser and as a smartphone app. When I worked for Epic Careering this was our primary way of keeping track of article ideas and various projects. I thought about alternatives when Trello struck me as a perfect fit. Last month, I finally became fed up with using OneNote. Second, when I logged in and jotted down my notes, I discovered they didn’t always sync up with my PC, which made my original reason for wanting to use the program meaningless. (I know plenty of other writers who have this problem.) Having to login again wastes precious time, especially if I don’t always remember my password. I’ve had countless moments when I had a great idea for an article, but didn’t write it down immediately only to forget it later. Sometimes these ideas occur when I’m on the go or at work, leaving me with a limited amount of time to jot down my thoughts.
This is an issue because I often take down notes whenever the inspiration for an idea hits me. Recently, OneNote has been letting me down for various reasons.įirst, whenever I went to access the app on my smartphone I found myself being constantly logged out. I liked how I could sync the program from my PC to my smartphone, opposed to having two separate sets of notes. For a good chunk of my writing life I’ve been using Microsoft’s OneNote to take notes and follow up on my ideas for articles.
