You then tack on automatic cards which appear on a schedule (e.g. "take out the trash," "clean this," "fix that," etc) and you have a even more useful productivity tool. You could of course use a traditional digital calendar for these with reminders, but pop-up reminders can be distracting/overwhelming, or ignored. A Trello card can sit in a bucket waiting until you have time in your schedule.
You can then combine it with something like the Pomodoro Technique[1] to help with uncontrolled procrastination.
Best of luck!
PS - There are other competitors to Trello which offer a great list experience (e.g. KanBanFlow, Microsoft Planner, etc). They're all good. Unfortunately few offer the Card Repeater. KanBanFlow offers built in Pomodoro timers tied to particular cards which is a huge win (Trello has third party support for Pomodoro timers, but that doesn't follow you cross-device).
