# 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").

## Quickly see cards on a board assigned to yourself

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

## Quickly assign cards to yourself

Hover your mouse over a card, hit "spacebar".

## 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.

## More Shortcuts

Trello has a lot more [keyboard shortcuts](https://trello.com/shortcuts).

## Templates

We've made various templates to help kickstart a new project available.
Go to "Menu" > "Copy Board" to copy the template
into a new board for your project.
Make any necessary changes.
