and I promptly forget everything they're about because I don't have a great way to organize my notes. Usually if multiple people recommend it, that bumps it up on my reading list.ħ) Keep track of notes and summery right in the card description. I'm also adding a custom field for name of person who recommended it (as it's nice to follow up with people afterwards and be like "hey i actually did read that book!"), and also a number field for how many times it's recommended. Now I can do that with Custom Fields! I can even make a drop down with emojis, so it looks like stars. I'll probably have a "Read 2020" list and create a new one each year to track how many books I'm reading each year.Īnother thing I liked about Goodreads was being able to leave ratings on books. This is a cool way to track how many books I'm reading. From there, you can see how many cards are in each list! I used the filter to filter by something that all cards had in common. Someone correct me if there's a better way to do this, but I found a quick hack for counting how many cards are in a list. And now I can easily do that! I can also see how long it sat in my "to read" list (looking at you books that I added back in 2016 and still haven't "gotten around to"). One of the things I did like about Goodreads was being able to see how long it took me to read a book. Yes this is a paid power-up, but it's $3/mo. and yes I'm obsessed with books about Danish culture so that's why that's one of the labels □If you know any good Hygge books, let me know!)Ĥ) Add the time-in-list power-up to see how long you take! (see above screenshot for some of my examples. I'm also adding labels for types, like business or personal development or marketing, etc. Not anymore! Now I'm using labels for fiction vs non-fiction so I can easily find the type of book I want. If I was in the mood for fiction, I'd have to scroll and find those. but it was so hard to filter through the types of books. One of the biggest flaws on Goodreads was that all of my books were there. since 90% of my books are non-fiction, it was easier to edit all of them this way (specifically I was editing the labels.) This helps you edit multiple cards at once. I added a list for "To Read", "Currenltly Reading", and "Read".Ģ) Use the Bulk Edits Power-Up to edit in. So instead I've just started by adding some of my favorite from Goodreads, and over time I'll make it through adding more on there. I got them all in there, but I ended up taking them out because Trello was moving kinda slow and I felt like I was just putting too much strain on the poor guy when there are really only about 100 books I'm thinking about reading in the semi-near future. that was quite honestly a bit too much for Trello to handle. A real game changer! My biggest problem with this step was that i had 800 books on my list in Goodreads □. If you copy and paste a list into trello, it will give you to the option to turn each item into a card. (I've also got all of these listed on the first list in the board so when you copy over all the steps are right there for you!)ġ) If you already have a list of your books, get them in a spreadsheet or format where you can copy and paste them. I'm still working on getting it all set up, but here's a template, and below I'll describe the main premise and how it works. I can't believe it's actually taken me this long to do this, but today I finally decided to move my reading list over from Goodreads to Trello and I'M SO EXCITED.
