How to get the most out of Asana

Strategic task management

Asana excels in streamlining daily, weekly, and monthly tasks, providing a strategic edge for busy business owners. By setting deadlines for tasks, you’ll never miss an important assignment again. This strategic task management feature helps you stay on track and prioritise what truly matters.

Endless integrations

Asana integrates with over 200 other apps, which means that Asana becomes your one stop tool instead of tech jumping all day long. One of the most powerful integrations is email. Managing an overflowing inbox is a common challenge for busy entrepreneurs, but you can connect your Asana with your email. This integration filters emails directly into your Asana projects and boards, saving valuable time and eliminating the need for manual task entry.

Another cool integration is the Zoom and Asana integration. No need to worry about leaving frantic notes or spending valuable time post-call getting organised. With this integration, Asana creates tasks directly from the Zoom call. Pretty cool!

It’s more than a project management tool, it’s a work management tool

Let’s start with your own task management. You can easily navigate them with Asana’s ‘My Tasks’ section. Serving as your personal command center, it provides a comprehensive overview of assigned tasks, completed work, upcoming priorities, and impending deadlines. It helps to make things focused.

It’s a powerful work management tool for teams, too. Asana’s collaborative features simplify teamwork. You can add your team or collaborators to Asana, assign tasks, and track progress effortlessly. This transparency fosters accountability, enhancing overall team productivity, which is crucial for any growing business.

A digital hub

Your Asana can quickly become a digital home for absolutely everything in your business. Easily implement dedicated boards for key business areas such as marketing, customer service, finances, and goal setting. This organised approach ensures that each aspect of your business has a designated space, promoting a systematic and holistic project management approach.
