Board Organization Tips

TipDetails
Use TemplatesCreate a template card at the top of each list — copy it for new tasks
Labels as StatusGreen=done, Yellow=in progress, Red=blocked
Checklists for SubtasksBreak cards into steps — Trello shows progress percentage
Watch Important CardsGet notifications when watched cards change
Pro Tip: Label your cards by priority, not just category. Red = urgent/blocked, Yellow = this week, Green = done, Blue = someday. A quick glance at your board should tell you where to focus.
