As a productivity enthusiast, one of the tools that I heavily rely on is Trello. It helps me stay organized and keeps all my tasks and projects in one place. However, I often found myself needing a way to integrate my Trello cards with my calendar, so that I can have a clear overview of all my commitments and deadlines. After some trial and error, I discovered a simple and effective method to add Trello cards to my calendar. In this article, I will walk you through the step-by-step process of how to seamlessly integrate Trello cards with your calendar.
Step 1: Enable the Calendar Power-Up
The first thing you need to do is enable the Calendar Power-Up in your Trello board. This Power-Up allows you to see your Trello cards on the calendar and make updates directly from there. Open your Trello board, click on the “Show Menu” button on the right-hand side, and select “Power-Ups”. In the Power-Ups menu, search for “Calendar” and click on the “Enable” button next to it.
Step 2: Link your Calendar
Once you have enabled the Calendar Power-Up, you need to link your calendar to Trello. To do this, click on the “Calendar” button at the top of your Trello board. A pop-up will appear with instructions on how to link your calendar. Follow the instructions based on the calendar service you are using (Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, etc.). Once you have successfully linked your calendar, you will be able to see your Trello cards on your calendar.
Step 3: Add Due Dates to Trello Cards
In order for Trello cards to appear on your calendar, they need to have due dates assigned to them. To add a due date to a Trello card, open the card and click on the “Due Date” button. Select the date and time when the task or project is due, and click “Save”. The card will now appear on your calendar on the specified due date.
Step 4: View and Update Cards on the Calendar
Now that you have linked your calendar and added due dates to your Trello cards, you can view and update your cards directly on the calendar. Open your calendar view and navigate to the date where the Trello card is due. You will see the card displayed as an event on that date. Click on the event to view the card details, including its description, comments, and checklist. From here, you can make any necessary updates or add additional information.
Step 5: Stay on Top of Your Tasks
By adding Trello cards to your calendar, you can easily stay on top of your tasks and deadlines. The calendar view provides a visual representation of all your commitments, allowing you to better manage your time and prioritize your work. Make it a habit to regularly check your Trello calendar and update your cards as needed.
Conclusion
Integrating Trello cards with your calendar can greatly enhance your productivity and streamline your workflow. By following the steps outlined in this article, you will be able to seamlessly manage your tasks and deadlines in one centralized location. Give it a try and experience the benefits of having your Trello cards and calendar working together harmoniously.
