If you missed the post of How Trello Organized my Business just click right there. And then come back.

One of the awesome things about Trello is that you can create a card once and copy it as many times as you need to and move it from board to board or list to list. You can rename it once you copy it too so you don’t have 10 of the same cards floating around. In each card, you can have checklists, due dates, notes, descriptions, conversations amongst co-workers, etc.

At the beginning of this business, I realized that in order to work smarter, I had to be efficient and create workflows for myself and each task of my business. I wrote a 25 page procedure manual (more on that another day) and then broke that procedure manual into a workflow checklist. 

Enter, “ON GOING” Lists.

For every wedding, or every engagement session, I have a workflow Pre and Post Wedding/Session. I also have a packing list for every shoot and most of the time it would pretty much suck if I forget anything on this list. Therefore, I created a card with checklists for all my workflows, packing lists, etc.

I currently have workflows for:

POST WEDDING
PRE WEDDING
ENGAGEMENT SESSION
PORTRAIT SESSION
GEAR PACKING LIST
WINTER VACATION PACKING LIST
SUMMER VACATION PACKING LIST
MONTHLY DUTY DAY
BLOGGING

On each of these cards, I have a checklist:

So my POST WEDDING WORKFLOW card looks a little something like this:
It has a whole lot more on it then this, but here’s the start.

My PRE WEDDING WORKFLOW looks a little something like this:
It has a whole lot more on it then this, but here’s the start.

Remember that in order to run a successful business you should always be working smarter, not harder.

Stay tuned for next week’s Workflow Wednesday of how I use Trello to keep me on top of my blogging!
