Dear Lord I just need to sync cards in one board

Question

I signed up for Trello just for this one purpose.

I am a freelancer regularly working on about eight projects at once. Each project has its own list. Each list has the project's to-dos on it. I have one more List that says "Today", for today's tasks.

I just want to be able to copy a card from a project's to-do list to my "Today" list and be able to update one and have the other updated (e.g. with a green label for 'done' or to change the description).

I can't understand why this most basic of features is so difficult to achieve.

Just the one feature.

I don't want multiple clicks.

I don't have a team. I don't have other users. I don't even have other boards.

Please help.

Thank you.

@Arnna For what you're describing, I'd say you'd be better off just adding a "Today" label then filtering the board to show only those cards:

Makes total sense. It's hard to justify if you've already got a good thing going, and it's for such a basic use-case. Hope you can find something that works for you!

I really appreciate you taking the time to reply, thank you.

The workflow I describe above is already optimal - one screen, no extra clicks, ability to see all projects and tasks at once - so it would be pointless to switch to a different board and screen for this purpose. All I need is for a card to be copied between lists on the same board and kept synced. And for this one tiny task, and with no other features that I need, it would be ridiculous to pay $10/month for Unito. So if there's no way to do this extremely entry-level function then I'll use another tool. Thank you again.
