Why I Broke Up with Trello and Moved to ClickUp: A Boss Mom’s Guide to Smarter Project Management

It’s true—I broke up with Trello and made the switch to ClickUp. It was a tough decision because Trello had been my go-to for years, but ClickUp swept me off my feet with features I didn’t even know I needed.

If you’re wondering why I made the switch and how it can help you as a mom entrepreneur, keep reading!

What Is ClickUp?

ClickUp is a free project management tool designed for people who have a million things to juggle (like us moms). It’s like the Swiss Army knife of organization. Whether you’re running a business, managing clients, or just trying to keep your life together, ClickUp has you covered.

Here’s why it’s amazing:

• Task management: Stay on top of deadlines and to-dos.
• Integrations: Sync with tools you’re already using like Google Drive and Calendly.
• Customizable workspaces: Organize your projects in a way that makes sense for you.
• Automation: Save time on repetitive tasks with built-in templates and forms.

Why I Left Trello for ClickUp

Don’t get me wrong—Trello is great. It helped me organize my content, streamline processes, and keep my sanity while building my business. But Trello started feeling a little… basic.

Here’s where ClickUp stole the show:

1. Big-picture organization: Trello is awesome for single projects, but ClickUp lets me see my entire business at a glance.
2. Hiding projects: This is hands down my favorite feature. In ClickUp, I can tuck projects away in folders until I’m ready to work on them. No more staring at a cluttered dashboard!
3. Smarter integrations: ClickUp connects seamlessly with tools like Google Calendar, TimeCamp, and Grammarly.
4. Forms that create tasks: This one blew my mind. I can send a form to clients, and when they fill it out, it automatically creates a task in my ClickUp workspace.
5. Templates for growth: I can create templates for repetitive tasks and even share them with clients or sell them to my audience.

Why Organization Is a Game-Changer

When you’re organized, you waste less time, get more done, and feel way less stressed. And when you feel less scattered, you can focus on the stuff that actually moves your business forward—like creating a simple sales funnel or building a team.
