The Marble Jar Channel

Hi, everyone.  This is Lara Hammock from the Marble Jar channel and in today's video, I'll share how I use Trello to keep track of the movies and TV series that am watching and that I‘d like to watch in the future. In my previous video on using Trello to keep track of the books I'm reading, I mentioned that my mind is a bit of a whirlwind and it's nice to have my thoughts on a topic written down and visually available rather than just floating around in my brain or on little separate notes filed somewhere.  This is even more true for movies and TV shows.  I don't know about you, but I jump around a bit as I'm watching things -- particularly if a series is gruesome or dark.  I cannot binge watch those series in the way that some people seem to be able to.  I need breaks.  And if you are even slightly ADHD like me, any distraction means -- you may never be back!  I have dozens of series that I've watched portions of.  And only some of that is delibe...

Hi, everyone.  This is Lara Hammock from the Marble Jar channel and in today's video, I'll show you how I use Trello to keep track of all of the books I'm reading, have read, or want to read. When it comes to books, my eyes are always bigger than my stomach.  And by that I mean, the number of books I want to read FAR EXCEEDS what I can actually ingest.  And my lists just keep growing based on the recommendations of others, books that have recently come out, and whatever I happen to be interested in at the time.  The problem is that my mind is constantly whirling and unlike some who have nice, orderly minds -- mine is like a hurricane inside a tornado.  This is what even a small dose of ADHD will do to you.  But what that means is that at any given time, I'm in the middle of 4-8 books with a long list of other books I want to get to.  The thing is, my brain only has so much memory, so -- I created a system using Trello to help me out. If you are unfamil...

Hi, everyone!  This is  Lara Hammock from the Marble Jar channel and in today's video, I'll share how I've helped my kids set up Trello to organize their high school assignments and school work. I've been testing out 2 organization systems in parallel for my grad school work -- Trello and Todoist.  They are both great applications, but different.  Based on their preferences, one of my high schoolers is using Trello and the other is using Todoist.  In this video, I'll share how you can set Trello up to help you organize your high school assignments and work. I have a massive pet peeve about high school and the way assignments are given.  In middle school, assignments were given out day by day, but there was quite a bit of hand holding and some leeway to make sure students got things done.  In college, professors are required to give their students a syllabus at the beginning of the semester with the entire four months already entirely plann...

Hi, everyone.  This is Lara Hammock from the Marble Jar channel and in today’s video, I’ll explain how you can set up Trello to organize your tasks and projects for college or university. I’ve been testing out a bunch of project/task management systems and am currently using two systems in parallel to organize grad school — Trello and Todoist. Both of them are great, but different.  In this video, I'll tell you how I organize school with Trello.   Trello is a great app.  I have a couple of videos on Trello basics and how I use it if you are interested.  As I’ve said in other videos, Trello is incredibly versatile — sometimes it feels SO versatile that you don’t even quite know how to get started.  Which is why is it nice to hear how someone else uses it for a similar purpose so that you don’t have to start from scratch. So, I’m in grad school, for the second time, this time getting a masters in social work.  I’m in a part-time, pa...
