Well, I played with it for a while, but in the end I still found it too limiting. Now I decided to run with an excel spreadsheet, with conditional formatting. It gives me all the flexibility I want, and I get to keep and analyse my own data.

I'm still using this thing. It's less about motivation and more about me having ADHD and forgetting to do stuffs, though, and I'm integrating Trello and Wunderlist into my routine so much I could probably just switch to them exclusively.

Trello is useful, but more so if you read up on how the Kanban system that inspired it is meant to work.

You have a series of lists, and each list is a step in a process, with cards traveling left to right. So it's the most use for tracking production work when there are multiple things that need to go through the same steps.

Also, in the original Kanban system, each list has a number which represents bandwidth for that step: how many cards can/should be in each stage at one time, so by tweaking the Kanban list numbers it's useful for identifying bottlenecks (which is of course of the most use when there are more than one person in your project), since if there are too many cards backed up at a certain point the project leader knows pretty quickly that something is wrong and has a good idea who to ask or where to assign labor.
