This week, it\u2019s the turn of Trello, a project management tool that could change your life forever&#8230;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4><b>What is it?<\/b><\/h4>\n<p>If you\u2019ve ever stuck a load of Post-Its to a wall in order to make sense of something, you\u2019ll be well at home with Trello.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s essentially a virtual whiteboard on which you place virtual notes. The idea is that you break down any ongoing projects you have into notes, which can then be categorised on your board. Your \u201d\u02dcprojects\u2019 can be anything; work, home, movie to-watch lists, game lists or even holiday planning.<\/p>\n<p>The virtual notes you place on the board are known as \u201d\u02dccards\u2019 and feature all of the information for the task. You can add to this information with attachments and to-do lists, and each card can be assigned to a different collaborator.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4><b>Why is it surprisingly easy?<\/b><\/h4>\n<p>Trello offers a real sense of progress to whatever you\u2019re doing. For example, if you want to track your movie to-watch list, you can break down your board into \u201d\u02dcto-watch\u2019 and \u201d\u02dcwatch\u2019 and shift each movie between the two. But you can also make notes on each movie, noting what you liked and what you didn\u2019t. It\u2019s not just a great to-do list; it\u2019s a great diary too.<\/p>\n<p>After a while, you\u2019ll realise that pretty much everything in your life can fit into Trello\u2019s management system. Trello syncs across all of your devices too, which means any updates you make on the phone app will be reflected on your computer and tablet and vice versa.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4><b>The best bit<\/b><\/h4>\n<p>You\u2019ll get a lot more done and you\u2019ll forget a lot less without having to pay a penny. Can\u2019t ask for much more than that, can you?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4><b>The downside<\/b><\/h4>\n<p>It\u2019s quite difficult to get to grips with at first, and you may struggle to see the point if you aren\u2019t the kind of person who has lots of projects or ambitions on the go at once. Stick with Trello, though, and you\u2019re almost bound to find some use for it.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/gb\/app\/trello-organize-anything\/id461504587?mt=8\">Download Trello on iOS<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.trello&amp;hl=en_GB\">Download Trello on Android<\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Don\u2019t forget to check out our own surprisingly easy app, which allows you to scan your CDs, DVDs and Games for an instant price!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/gb\/app\/musicmagpie-sell-your-cds\/id416562292?mt=8\">Download musicMagpie on iOS<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=uk.co.musicMagpie&amp;hl=en_GB\">Download musicMagpie on Android<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s Thursday, which means it\u2019s time for another app that\u2019ll make your life easier.
