Email Management With Trello

Has this ever happened to you? You come across a thread on Facebook where people rave about a task/project management tool:

Ooh, it’s super easy to use and crazy effective;
I no longer have to rewrite to-do lists or have them in 9 places;
I use it to pretty much run my life;
