I read that when it came out! Tried it actually, kinda worked, until my normal motivation killers came >.<

Did you use the checklist approach? I know I'm one to fall prey to demotivation and I happen to find something as simple as checkmarks on a trello list to be particularly satisfying (especially when I kill that 'refactor your shit to use proper getters!' or 'encapsulation rules shouldn't be broken asshole!' item off the list!)

Also, your second quote is not from me. Something must've gone wrong when you multi-selected.
