Hey everyone! I'm curious about how long it typically takes students or small teams to set up their tasks when starting a new project or assignment using a to-do list or Kanban board. Do you find that the setup process can become more complicated or time-consuming than actually getting to work? Also, what do you find most frustrating about tools like Trello, ClickUp, or Notion?

For me, the setup time can vary based on the tool. Some apps make it tedious with all the dragging and dropping, which can take ages. But for lighter apps, it’s usually just a few minutes to jot down my tasks and I'm ready to roll. I prefer to keep it simple so I can dive straight into work!
If the setup isn't helping you, then it's really just getting in the way. Personally, I can't stand Jira due to how my organization has it set up. But I've found Azure to be pretty straightforward!
In my experience with Jira, we usually just use templates. Once it's set up and users are added, we're good to go in no time.
Setting up new tasks can be super quick. If I have a clear idea of what I need to add, I just type a short description, and I'm done. No need to overthink it!
I totally get you! Sometimes identifying all my tasks and breaking them down feels like a never-ending cycle. ClickUp can be overwhelming with its features, especially for students. Your tips are really helpful, thanks!
