As someone who recently started working for a startup with no computer science/coding background, this thread has been insanely helpful and relatable based on my experiences working in accounting/healthcare. It's almost enlightening hearing similar problems across industries when it comes to task completion and execution of strategies/development ideas. I can't tell you how many times I would update our "tracking log" (a basic-ass Excel spreadsheet with project owner, general information, and date to complete task columns) to no avail. Someone would miss a deadline and tasks were constantly added without dropping off any tasks or moving them to the "complete" stage. Trello is only as great as the work being done to execute on the assigned tasks. I really think it just comes down to getting shit done. One technique I found very helpful is physically writing down the tasks you want to complete on a little 1x1 sticky note. This helps you stay concise with what you NEED to get done that day/week and keeps you from adding things you know you CAN'T accomplish within a respectable time period. Once you finish that task, you then cross it off. There's something uber satisfying about crossing things off with a pen. I think the main goal is to set realistic expectations and hold yourself accountable for those tasks. Try not to overburden and add tasks to the never ending list. It just gets daunting and stifles your creativity or willingness to execute.
