In Trello, can you pre-define a check list automatically?
We could use this to check off Product order and provision stages.

I agree with your friend about not dividing up into separate boards by type of job.
With your examples such as 'Design ideas' etc, I think they really do fit naturally within different lists on the same Board. It's exactly the sort of usage that Joel demoed in multiple videos about Trello.
The only thing I can think of, to help manage very long lists, is to use Trello's Labels system to put categories on cards, and then use filtering. You should definitely give meaningful names to the default labels.
I wrote up some tips on how to use labels recently.
Having said that, fairly early on the Trello on Trello board got huge, and eventually they reduced the scope of it. So it's does seem to be a well-known problem.
Trello doesn't have "Favorites" exactly, but you can control which boards show up in your boards menu by "pinning" (or "unpinning") a board
If there is a board that you aren't a member of, but you'd like to keep an eye on (e.g. the Trello Development Board), you can add it to your Boards Menu
- Click the icon next to the board title (or click the Board Profile button on the right)
- Click "Pin to Header Menu"
(The Boards Menu is the list of boards you see when you click the "Boards" link in the upper right)
You can also use that menu to unpin boards that you don't want in your header. (e.g. if you're a member of a board, but you don't check it very frequently)
A list of all of your boards, including the ones that are not pinned, is available on your boards page

You can create a card with the list you want, and then use this card as a template, by copying the card to the list you want. For things like this, I actually have a list with is just templates of cards I use whenever I need.
