Be super-fast with Trello

We use Trello for a lot of our processes and projects. Here’s how to be hyper-productive with it.

See all cards on all boards assigned to you, ordered by board or by due date

Go to https://trello.com/:your-username/cards (also accessible by clicking your name in the nav, then “Cards”).

Type “q” while viewing the board to filter cards on a board to the ones assigned to you.

Quickly assign cards to yourself

Quickly label cards

Hover your mouse over a card. Hit “1”, “2”, “3”, “4”, “5”, or “6” to label the card with the label color associated with that number.
