Efficient task management and prioritization are essential for achieving productivity, but where do you start? Take a look at the examples below to transition your everyday workflows into Asana.
| Before Asana: To-do list | In Asana: My Tasks |
| Keeping track of your to-dos | Add a task, assign it to yourself. All tasks assigned to your will appear in your My Tasks list. |
| Prioritizing your tasks | Add due dates to all your tasks and prioritize your work using custom fields and sections within your My Tasks. |
| Collaborating on tasks | Add your tasks to relevant projects, and include collaborators. Have conversations and add files directly in tasks, so nothing gets lost. |
| Writing your own reminders | For a quick reminder to yourself, create a task that is not in a project. Tasks created without a project are private by default. |
| Using sticky notes | Use board view in projects and My Tasks. You can drag and drop tasks between columns the same way you move sticky notes around. |
| Before Asana: Meeting agendas and notes | In Asana: Meeting projects |
| Creating an agenda | Create a meeting project, and add a task for each agenda topic |
| Facilitating a meeting | Share your screen and work through the project in your meeting. Mark tasks as complete or move tasks into new sections as you cover agenda items. |
| Capturing meeting minutes | Take notes in a task to keep in the project as a reference. @mention relevant tasks, projects and teammates in your notes. You can also use the Asana for Zoom integration. |
| Following up on action items | Create a section in your project called "follow up". Add and assign tasks as action items come up in your meeting. |
| Communicating a key decision | After making a key decision indicate this in a comment and pin the comment to the top of the task. |
| Before Asana: Private communication | In Asana: Private tasks and projects |
| Keeping a notebook | Create a private to members project for your notes. Now they're easily searchable in Asana, but are still private to you. |
| Sending an email | Assign a private task to your teammate with the information or question. |
| Taking personal email notes | Create a private to members project for your meeting and only invite the appropriate collaborators. |
| Managing one-to-one meetings | Create a private to members project for your one-to-one meetings to track goals, progress, questions and feedback. |
