OP here, I wanted to add a little context to why I've submitted this:
As someone with ADHD, I've tried a lot of different systems to manage my tasks over time. From Remember the Milk, to OmniFocus, to Workflowy, to Apple Reminders, etc. and nothing has really stuck. When I read this I realized that what I was actually doing was creating a big repository of different things I wanted to do, and then each day "creating" a list of tasks in my head (or on paper) that I actually planned to do. And on top of that maintenance of the tasks was in itself a chore that would end up not being done, and a perpetual list of some number of tasks would be in an "overdue" state. This method has really ended up fitting me, personally, like a glove. And it's even really easy to maintain, so I actually do so each day, and look at what gets done. Because it's so guilt-free to just move stuff to farther down the line and re-evaluate my priorities later on.
Granted, this is implemented in Trello like the article suggests, so it's not perfect. Their Power-Up to do repeating tasks is quite lacking. But it works well enough for keeping track of them with minimal effort. And in order to make use of all the Power-Ups I want (Repeat, Snooze, and Dropbox mainly. Might add more later as I refine what I do) I need to pay for it, so it might not be free if you do similar.
