Track Your Anime Watching Progress with Trello: A Beginner’s Guide

Are you an anime enthusiast who wants to keep track of your progress while watching your favorite shows? Do you often find yourself forgetting where you left off or which episodes you’ve already watched? If the answer is yes, then you might want to try using Trello.

Trello is a web-based project management tool that’s simple and customizable. It lets you organize tasks, set deadlines, and collaborate with others. And yes, it can also help you keep track of your anime watching progress.

Here’s a beginner’s guide on how to use Trello to manage your anime watchlist:

1. Create a board

A board is where you can organize your tasks, and in this case, your anime watchlist. To create a new board, click the “Create new board” button in your Trello dashboard. Give it a name that represents your anime list, and you’re ready to start adding content.

2. Add lists

Lists are the columns where you can list your anime by categories. For example, you can have lists for “Watching,” “Completed,” “Dropped,” “Plan to Watch,” or any other category that makes sense to you.

To add a new list, click the “Add another list” button on your board. Name the list and hit “Enter” or “Return” on your keyboard to save it.

3. Add cards

Cards are the individual items that belong to each list. In this case, each card will represent an anime that you’re watching or planning to watch. To add a card, click the “Add a card” button in the list where you want to add it. Type in the name of the anime, and click “Add” to save it.

4. Add descriptions, comments, and labels

Once you have added a card, you can add more details to it. You can add descriptions about the anime, comments with your thoughts about it, and labels to categorize it further, such as by genre, season, or rating. These additional details will make it easier for you to find what you’re looking for or to make decisions about what to watch next.

5. Move cards between lists

As you start to watch anime, you can move their respective cards between lists. For example, if you start watching “Attack on Titan,” you can move its card from the “Plan to Watch” list to the “Watching” list. If you decide to drop an anime halfway through, you can move its card to the “Dropped” list.

Moving cards between lists is as simple as dragging and dropping them. Click on the card you want to move, hold it down, and drag it to the list where you want it to go. Release the mouse button, and the card will be moved to the new list.

6. Set due dates

If you want to give yourself a deadline to finish watching a particular anime, you can set a due date on its card. To set a due date, click on the card to open it, click on the “Due Date” button, then select the date you want. When the due date approaches, Trello will send you a reminder to watch the anime.

7. Archive cards

When you finish watching an anime or no longer want to watch it, you can archive its card. Archiving removes it from your active lists, but you can still access it later if you need to. To archive a card, click on it to open it, then click on the “Archive” button at the bottom of the card.

In conclusion, using Trello to track your anime watching progress is a simple and effective way to keep organized. By creating lists for different stages of your watchlist, you can easily keep track of what you’ve watched, what you want to watch, and what you’ve dropped. With the additional customization options such as labels and due dates, you can further personalize your watchlist and make it work for you. So, go ahead and give it a try, your anime-watching experience will never be the same again!]
