Hey there! Today, I want to share with you my personal experience of adding Toggl to Trello. If you’re not familiar, Toggl is a time tracking tool, and Trello is a popular project management tool. By integrating Toggl with Trello, you can effectively track the time you spend working on tasks within Trello, which can be incredibly helpful for productivity and analyzing your work habits.
Step 1: Install the Toggl Power-Up
To get started, you’ll need to install the Toggl Power-Up for Trello. In order to do this, open your Trello board and click on the “Show Menu” button in the top right corner of the screen. From the menu that appears, select “Power-Ups” to open the Power-Ups directory.
In the Power-Ups directory, search for “Toggl” and click on the “Add” button to install it. Once you’ve installed the Toggl Power-Up, you should see a new Toggl button in your board’s sidebar.
Step 2: Connect Trello to Toggl
Before you can start tracking time in Trello using Toggl, you need to connect your Trello account to your Toggl account. To do this, click on the Toggl button in the board’s sidebar, and then click on the “Connect” button. You’ll be prompted to authorize Trello to access your Toggl account, so just follow the on-screen instructions to complete the connection process.
Step 3: Start Tracking Time
Once Trello and Toggl are connected, you can start tracking time for your tasks in Trello. To do this, open a Trello card and click on the Toggl button in the card’s sidebar. A Toggl timer will appear, allowing you to start and stop the timer as needed while you work on the task.
Additionally, you can assign a specific time estimate to a Trello card by clicking on the “Edit” button in the Toggl section of the card’s sidebar. This can be useful for planning and tracking your time more effectively.
Step 4: Analyze Your Time
After you’ve been tracking time in Trello using Toggl for a while, you can start to analyze your time data. Toggl provides detailed reports and analytics, allowing you to see how much time you’ve spent on different tasks, projects, or even clients. This can be incredibly valuable for identifying areas where you’re spending too much time or finding patterns in your work habits.
Conclusion
Adding Toggl to Trello has been a game-changer for me. It allows me to easily track my time while working on Trello tasks, helping me stay focused and productive. The integration between Toggl and Trello is seamless, and the ability to analyze my time has provided valuable insights into my work patterns. If you’re a Trello user looking to enhance your productivity, I highly recommend giving Toggl a try!
