Ask HN: Any project management apps that focus on reducing cognitive load?

For personal use for my own side-projects. I normally use trello/jira/text files, but feature creep eventually leaves me looking at dozens of unfinished tasks across categories. Then my project's "second 90%" starts looking insurmountable and I start losing motivation and inevitably burnout. Which is not very good as the second 90% usually involves marketing, talking to users, figuring out monetization and all the important bits. As a dev, I feel the most productive when I know exactly what to do next and I can just keep banging out task after task. Autonomously coding in the flow where it all seems to pass in a blur. This is easier to do in jobs, not so much in alone side-projects. So, I want to find a todo/kanban/project management app, that specifically makes this easier. I want to sit down once, decide on the order of tasks that I want to do, preferably only "see" like the top 2 or 3 at a time and then do them one at a time. Once a task is done, it should ideally just fade away or something. I find archiving a card in trello rather unsatisfying and looking at it as crossed out in jira somehow doesn't feel great. Like, to me it seems like a good use case to add some gamification to keep up the user's motivation. I completed a task! Show me a nice animation while you chuck the task in a completed bin or something. An app that essentially focuses on reducing the cognitive load and helping break it all down into smaller chunks that I can do one by one. Anything like this out there?
