Long term todo lists wouldn't work with me. In about a week I end up doing much more than what would have been on my long term list, and that boils down to the list never getting done and me getting frustrated at the process. But we definitely have something similar to your Trello bucket for 'future enhancements' or 'quick-wins' that we'd like to complete within the next 3-4 iterations, or 2-3 months, etc.
Daily todo lists have always been a value to me, but I rarely have to actually write them down because of work order tickets or bugfixes semantically being the same thing (to me).
- talkingquickly 14y agoFor none software tasks I keep looking for a way to make, for want of a better word, 'exponential' todo lists. So if something needs to be done in the next twelve months, it remains very high level in the to do list "arrange trip to America for example", and as the deadline gets closer, it becomes more granular. I've had some success doing this with the sub ToDo lists within Trello cards so as it moves from 12 months to 6 months to 1 month to this week it gets broken down into smaller pieces but it still doesn't feel quite right.
