> https://asana.com[2] (task / todo list) A really great tool that is both simple and powerful at the same time. Most of my tasks are organized in here. I am also experimenting with trello and like it so far
I just went the other way. I used to use Trello and just started using Asana. Asana feels a little more organized for me. Trello worked pretty well as an online Kanban board, especially when working with a team. However, I like Asana more for solo work.
Depends on how big you team and budget are, but if you're looking for something more deadline-oriented (for prioritization), it's worth checking out Asana
Free... A shared calendar (gmail/outlook) and file-sharing system (gdocs/dropbox) are always helpful!
I am getting sick of hearing some version of "Oh, I am not a tech person haha" as an excuse not to learn something. I am not talking mechanical engineering, but every day web things. You use the computer (and most likely your phone) most of the damn day. Shut up and learn something. It is well within your ability. The days of "my grandma doesn't know how to use a computer" are over. Your grandma has been on the internet for 30 years.
As an example, markdown. For you "non-techies" out there it is the lingua franca of the development world. True it is primarily used by developers but ANYONE can learn Markdown in 30min - 2hrs (conservative). For christ's sake Excel is more complicated than Markdown.
This all started with my arch-nemesis Asana. It doesn't support markdown. A productivity tool that doesn't support markdown. Unbelievable.
I am not saying you should learn markdown if you don't have the need. It was just an example.
I actually made an asana.com multi level to-do list to track everything that is left. My fiance saw the list and finally finally understood why I am *always* working on the wedding. He's been so money conscious about it, pushing for more DIY but what he doesn't realize is how much extra work that is. Even if he's willing to do the DIY bit itself, there's so much that goes into making centerpieces other than putting flowers in a jar. Style? Images? What flowers are available? Which ones will last? Where can we keep the flowers cool? What kind of containers do we want? Where can we find them for cheap? How are we going to transport them to the venue... etc etc etc
I'm surprised nobody has said Asana yet.
I used to work at an agency where they used Teamwork. The free version of Asana lets me do almost everything I was doing with TW like having separate areas for each client.
I enjoy setting it up as a "Board" instead of just a list of tasks. Then you get a Trello-like experience but I like the way this is setup better. There is a better ability for recurring tasks to replicate on a certain day with the same list of subtasks for example.
I use a modified Kanban-ish style where (from left to right) the columns are Parking Lot, Up Next, In Progress, Submitted For Review, and Done.
Trello can be powerful with the extensions, but I just like Asana a lot better as far as coming from Teamwork is concerned.
I've also used Basecamp but I find it to be extremely disorganized. (Also could not easily track time. I left Asana initially because of this, but returned to it later because it's free.)
Asana has good apps.
The only thing I would say about it is that it doesn't naively support time tracking, but there are a lot of app integrations.
Personally, I use Tmetric because it's like $2 per month ($48 when you pay the year) for a pretty full featured time tracking app. They're very responsive on Twitter.
Something else could wind up being a better option for you depending on what other functions you need (eg if you wanted to send invoice and track time Harvest could be an option - what's the most bang for your buck kind of depends on your existing stack of tech + what you need).
You should checkout ClickUp. My team just recently switched over to this project management software and we have been so impressed. It has a clean, intuitive interface with some pretty awesome features like custom notifications, super rich editing, assignable comments, and multiple assignees. With their ClickApps, you're allowed to customize what features you want and hide everything else to reduce clutter. My favorite part about ClickUp is that they allow you to make the tool your own and tailor it to your needs. They offer an impressive free forever plan and would be my first choice.
A close second would be Asana. It's a simple project management tool built for small teams. With their free option you get unlimited tasks, projects, and conversations within a basic dashboard. The drawback with this software is that it can occasionally have slow load times which can be very frustrating.
Asana is a great service I use as a project management tool at work and my girlfriend and I also use it to keep track of pretty much everything. It's designed for project management, but is really flexible.
I'd recommend Asana. It's like a more powerful version of Trello and can be tightly integrated into various workflows. We switched from Trello to it about three years ago and never looked back.
Not necessarily. I guess i'm more talking about stereotypes, unconscious/implicit biases. Everyone picks them up and they're used for mental shortcuts. Becoming consciously aware is an interesting exercise.
Random article on unconscious biases: https://asana.com/resources/unconscious-bias-examples
Taking the Atlanta Spa Shootings as an example, the shooter denied his actions were racially based. I would suspect that stereotypes toward Asian women played a part in it regardless of what he said. We live in a society and the influence is all around us.
Now, i'm not comparing you to the Atlanta shooter, but I would suspect that stereotypes or biases played a part in your actions.
Have a think about it if you want.
I'm not sure of the exact features you need from Asana, but I've been very happy with Trello for quite a while. However in regard to pricing, they seem comparable. I'm also not sure where you're seeing the 5 seat business subscription minimum for Asana. Just looking at the pricing https://asana.com/pricing, there's a Premium option for a per user subscription, unless I'm mistaken.
Disclosure: I work for this company. Please don't consider this as a marketing post, but rather as an AMA as I can let you know or find out anything that you might want to know about our product.
I work at Asana, which is a company building team collaboration software to solve this exact problem. To get a sense for how relevant our tool is, our motto is to "Help humanity thrive by enabling all teams to work together effortlessly". Asana does this by organizing teams, projects, and tasks in a flexible but powerful tool which enables everyone to know who is doing what by when.
Using Asana has changed my life; I'm not sure I could work anywhere that didn't use it. Of course, we use it heavily ourselves at Asana, but it's so useful my family and I use it for everything from grocery lists to planning vacations. It's so much clearer than spreadsheets but doesn't dictate a lot of rules about how you use it - it's not as heavy-handed as some of the other tools in the same space.
Feel free to ask me anything and I'll try to help you get an answer!
Asana is free and can be used for personal projects. It’s basically a project management tool (both web and mobile). It can be used with other people or privately/alone. I like it lots!
we don't use it for strictly science but we've got a 100% virtual/distributed/remote team and need good collaboration software for different needs. Some of what I like:
For lighter/easier project management and easy integration of both internal and external collaborators: https://basecamp.com/
For more hardcore project management, also with internal and external collaborators: https://asana.com/
For pure internal stuff we like the Atlassian stack and do a lot with both Confluence and Jira tying efforts and projects together
Thank you for your replies. I checked out Asana, Wrike and Azendoo.
Asana has import/export features but collects many information (see https://asana.com/terms#privacy-policy).
Wrike collects personal information automatically, it has a free plan, You can import and export data as Excel spreadsheets to and from Wrike with one click.
Azendoo has import/export feature. It doesn't have a free plan. I didn't quite understand if Azendoo collects personal information automatically (https://www.azendoo.com/privacy). If it doesn't, I think it best suits the description in question.
Any other suggestions and comments are welcome.
Check out Asana. It has a free version that grants you access to calendar and list views of multiple projects. From there you’re can create processes around a number of tasks and assignment responsibilities. I’ve used that setup to manage multiple editorial calendars and though not perfect, have yet to justify a need to purchase the paid version.
I work in a marketing team and we use Asana. It's robust and designed for teams, but I loved it so I signed up for a personal account (free). Sort your tasks into projects, add due dates, divide into subtasks, set to repeat, sort with tags, etc. On web, also has an app.
For behavioural studies there is Noldus (www.noldus.com) or any-maze (www.anymaze.com). For experimental planning and team communication there is Asana with Instagantt app (https://asana.com/apps/instagantt). Quartzy or LIMS for tracking lab stuff and consumables, LabArchives or other e-lab book for archivation and sharing data/protocols in the lab, Mendeley/EndNote/Refworks for reference management... the list goes on. Have a look at what are the routine tasks you guys are doing in your lab and Google the tool that can help you with it.
Asana is my absolute favorite project management application for $0. I've tried trello, basecamp, and probably a dozen other little guys in the competition, but asana does everything I want
Google for "online project management" and look through the free options that come up. I use Asana for work and although it's meant to help with organizing tasks involved in large projects, something like that might be useful for you. I don't have a smartphone so I don't know if Asana has an app or how well it works, but there are lots of similar services that definitely have apps. You'll want to include the "online" bit into your search so that you only get ones that are cloud-based (and thus easily accessed through whatever internet device you have handy at that moment)
What kind of campaigns are you managing and what kind of metrics do you want to keep a track of?
If you're just looking to keep on top of projects and tasks to make sure your team is delivering what they need to on time, I'd highly recommend Asana. It's free for teams up to 15 people and has a whole bunch of features that will help make managing projects a breeze.
If you're looking at campaign performance management then depending on what kind of campaigns you're running any decent CRM or Marketing Automation tool should provide you with the metrics you need. Salesforce CRM just bought Pardot Marketing Automation and both can be used together to build some pretty efficient closed loop marketing functionality. They allow you to track customer behaviour, segment and target based on that data, accurately measure the performance of your campaigns and demonstrate ROI.
I use a combination of the Eisenhower matrix and ASANA for scheduling and organising.
It’s a constant battle, but I put aside 15 minutes at the start or finish of a day into identification, prioritisation and scheduling of tasks it helps a lot.
Actually, I think it does work. I've been using Asana.com for about 10 years and it has changed my life. Now I still have issues with following the plan xD But when I'm able to do that life's better, not cured tho xD
I use it because it has an easy and clean interface. No real learning curve. I love that you can collaborate with other team members/students. Here is a link to the guide it will help you get started. There are also platforms like Monday.com and Trello but I liked Asana more.
Hello!
Just to add up on it, Trello is really good piece of software, so when you can, give it a try. It can be quite useful.
But, since that wasn't a question, let me try to help you out with some useful software. First thing is, you will probably have to create an account one way or another if you guys want to have any access to it online, so try to not be stubborn against it. For any serious project management software which can be also web-operated, accounts will be needed.
Just so I don't give you a huge amount of links, I'll start with a small number of similar options, so you can see if they suit you, and also check with the chairwoman. Since she likes Trello and visualization of things, maybe Freedcamp would be useful? Or maybe Bitrix24? Both are extremely useful when it comes to project management software. Of course, an honorable mention to one more, Asana. They've been in the project management area for quite a while.
​
If you would like to simplify it by a large margin, you can always use Google Drive along with Google spreadsheets excel table, that is editable, and can be edited "on the run". It all depends on your needs.
​
I hope I helped at least a little bit!
So I think there are few online tools that can sort of step in but I don't know if they will ever totally replace this.
​
The tool I live by is Asana.com
I like it because it is simple and you can click and drag everything in the page.
It is also simple enough for everyone on my teach to jump in and start using it with just a couple minutes of instruction.
​
Trello.com is another options.
Its very simple but I think its simplicity can hamper it on extra complex projects.
​
Airtable.com is another tool that looks like it could be really useful.
It has the functionality of the two above but also smartsheet/excel style functionality.
It is trying to be one tool to rule them and also work cross departments.
​
But I just do post and I make everyone use Asana.com.
I make every deliverable a task. I keep a master project and then smaller projects for different clients. As a task can live in multiple Projects.
I add tags to task as elements that a task should work to get rid of. So I would add a tag to a task that says 'FOOTAGE' and them tells me that footage is needed to complete this task.
​
The other thing I like about Asana is that every user can pull up a view that just show them the tasks they have been assigned to. So they only need to see the small part of the puzzle they need to complete and not get bogged down trying to figure out where they plugin.
​
If Todoist is blocked for him, Asana likely is as well. When they switched to requiring WebSockets, it cut out a lot of people behind corporate firewalls. https://asana.com/guide/help/faq/connectivity#gl-websockets
Check out Asana.com
Only thing I'm unsure of is Project duplication on the free version. Otherwise, it fits your needs.
May also check out Wrike.com - it's been a while but from memory, they fit the bill too.
The best approach is probably using e-mail forwarding, which is very easy to set-up (https://asana.com/guide/help/email/email-to-asana#gl-forwarding). You can take any email, forward it to a particular email address, and it will create tasks in the project of your choice.
There's a wufoo integration as well as Zapier, but those require some technical knowledge to set-up.
Asana has had a boards layout as well for awhile now: https://asana.com/guide/help/views/boards
I've used Asana to manage everything from web dev to warehouse ecommerce employees and field workers - at one company we also used it as part of a system that allowed us to eliminate internal email...
Have you tried the mind map tool that Asana recommends?
If that doesn't do the job and there are no good alternatives, I could develop a simple-to-use mind map web tool (with easy zoom etc). Nodes could then be easily sent to Asana with a click.
This is a great list. Staying focused is hard to do in life with all the distractions that are around us. I use Asana platform (https://asana.com/) to record my action items. They also have neat dashboards if you buy their Premium package. I just use the free one for now.
I use Asana (https://asana.com) which is a cloud app and is based on a similar philosophy of ease of use of Trello, but with those more advanced features you mentioned. By way of example, you can set a task to have a due date N days after you complete it, which is perfect for things like "water the plants". The disclosure part: I work at Asana. But I honestly think you might like it ;)
Asana I've been *so much more productive since I started using it for work. It's excellent for working with teams, but I have no trouble ignoring certain features for projects that don't involve anyone else.
Try project management tool like Asana or CRM like Hubspot or Mattermost , which is a free alternative to Slack. They all are free and easy to use for non tech-savvy customers.
I wish Asana existed when I was in college. I use it for work and it's seriously a life changer. You don't need to be in a "team" for it to be useful; it's great to use solo as well.
Basically, you create "projects" with associated subtasks which you can then assign to people (if using in a group) assign due dates, attach relevant documents or links or photos to projects and subtasks, etc.
Enormously helpful for keeping you organized and on schedule.
Já usei Slack (muito bom para organizar mensagens, ideias, e tem "extensões" built-in, por exemplo basta escrever uma keyword e podes começar um Google Hangout) e Asana (bom para criar tarefas e distribui-las pelos membros.
Também ouvi falar muito bem de Trello, mas fiquei com a sensação de que é menos intuitivo, apesar de se tornar mais poderoso no long-term e para projetos mais sérios.
Firstly, I'd definitely recommend creating tab groups so you can easily swap from project to project. If you use chrome:
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/tab-bundler/ooajenhhhbdbcolenhmmkgmkcocfdahd?hl=en
Otherwise, thebru had some good suggestions; however, instead of a pen/paper approach to the daily tasks, I'd recommend asana.
> not contact management
I was actually thinking of using it this way:
https://asana.com/guide/more/examples/crm
https://blog.asana.com/2012/03/best-practices-using-asana-for-customer-relationship-management/
This site is based of the Google Docs spreadsheet with all the cards. I've used a public API to gather most of the card data. I still need to work on a script that gathers the card images.
Currently the site is very rough. A lot of functionality is still missing, so I'll have my work cut out for me. I'm just putting it out there so people can already use it.
If you want to help with anything I could use some help.
The database has incorrect data because I copied everything from the spreadsheet and used a script to grab all the card info. I could use some help with fixing the mistakes. People interested will be given an account that gives access to the admin panel. You will also be invited to the Asana project, so provide an email I can add. Asana is used for reports by users, which can be made for each card.
Regular users can report mistakes by clicking the 'Report mistake' link on a card page. If you do write a report, please be as specific as possible and provide as much data as you can. This means that you can provide full card text if it's missing.
Want to contribute to the code? Go ahead! Maybe someone can make the site look better (would be much appreciated). Or you want build something new.
Feature requests can be made on the Github issues page (I'll configure this later).
I hope you'll enjoy this little project. Feel free to ask questions and request features. :)
EDIT
Didn't expect so many people would go straight to the booster overview instead of searching. So I quickly add the list of cards available in a booster.
Ich geh jetzt mal zum Thema "Unprofessionalität" bzw. "Auf dem Flur zurufen" ein was Hauke meinte. Ich kann aus Erfahrung bei verschiedenen Firmen sagen, dass man Programme wie "Asana" für die Aufgabenverteilung sehr gut nutzen kann. Aufgaben werden gestellt und können abgehakt werden. Wenn sie abgehakt werden geht eine Email raus. Ansonsten kann jeder sich das Aufgabenfeld ansehen und ist sehr übersichtlich. Will jetzt keine Werbung machen aber: "https://asana.com/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=pd_cpc_br&utm_term=Asana&mkwid=soGszkaQn&pcrid=68437677076&pkw=asana&pmt=e&utm_campaign=G_S_Desktop_Alpha_Brand_EU&pdv=c&gclid=CKbx9e_j1ccCFSTmwgoduogJTg"
I don't use it at my current job, but at a previous job we used Asana. It's pretty great once you get the hang of it.
I don't know about Google calendar integration though. But it has a bunch of features we never touched so there might be something there.
Currently using Asana. I'm soon going to check out Phabricator and its related tools. I think any wiki should work for what you want. Coincidentally, Asana uses Phabricator for code review.
How about Asana? Haven't used it myself but it seems very interesting https://asana.com/product
Not a true PM tool but a great way to organize everyone on the team and get updates, track issues, etc. I'm not sure if it would allow tracking issues by release though.
Hey. Here are my top suggestions for your problem: 1) Asana is an awesome to-do list/project management app that teams can use to communicate and get work done. We've been using it at our office for the last 6 or so months and have found we make decisions quicker and get more done when we're using it. The way it works is by creating projects (e.g. for each client) and then tasks within each project. A task is assigned to one person (and on person only) and due dates are given. Everyone can see everyone else's responsibilities and so the team is kept accountable. The best thing about Asana is that all communication happens within the app under each task. Because you're chatting right in the task, you naturally make decisions quicker as the team is focused on ticking it off. I would recommend you put everything into Asana - all reminders for phone calls you need to make or faxes you need to send and the deadlines for these. Your "Today" tasks will automatically populate as the due dates come around. This removes your need to remember to do things. 2) Get in to work an hour early and tackle your most important to-do for the day. Don't touch email or anything else, just focus on your most important goal. This requires that you plan the night before and work out what you're going to work on. So when you get in, you get straight into it and don't even need to decide what to do. There is a huge psychological boost that comes from this as you've achieved your most important tasks and can go into the meetings a little more relaxed knowing you've got a big job out of the way. If you're interested, I blog about productivity and have a free email course called the "7-Day Productivity Plan" that you mighty be interested in :D
I use Asana to do all of this. You can integrate Asana with Github so that anytime you push a commit to Github on any branch in a repo, you can track that commit to a task within Asana. It's free for up to 14 users. The free version offers many great features. Here's the instructions on how to do that.
You can have teams with your Asana organization and put different people on different teams (and several projects within that team). It's really easy to use and has a great workflow.
If you really wanna get fancy, you can then integrate Asana and Github with Slack so your entire workflow is in one place (e.g. push a commit to Github, it shows up in Slack. Close a task in Asana, it shows up in Slack).
As far as tracking Github issues to a task, I personally don't use Github issues with my team's workflow. Any bugs, I track those in Asana. Any new features, I place those in Asana. You can create both a Github issue and a task but reference the task in Asana when you close the issue.
Just remember that if you want to have the team features available (you may not need it depending on your organization), you need to register an account with Asana using a non-generic email domain (no yahoo, gmail, aol, etc... accounts). You should use your company's email address (e.g. ).
Hope this helps.
Asana is really good and can integrate with outlook, google calendar, etc...
You can set due dates easily. Each task is just a checkbox and you get set subtasks which are checkboxes. It won't due recurrences but you can add tasks for each day.
If you're only interested in daily tasks, habit rpg might be a good bet.
We use Asana for everything.
Development, marketing campaign planning, client account management and knowledge base.
It works great for our small agency. ^now ^^if ^^^only ^^^^they ^^^^^would ^^^^^^add ^^^^^^^task ^^^^^^^^dependancies
Interested poster and potential contributor, reporting in.
For setting up a formal list of tasks and user stories, I'd suggest Asana. I used it in the past for an opensource project started on my college campus, and it worked quite nicely.
As far as languages go, I'm partial to Python with Django personally. Though I have a heavy bias since this is what I use in the day job...
The list of features you've outlined here is excellent and would make for a good initial framework. Nicely done!
I'm a fan of Asana.com.
It's free for small teams, and generally very quick and easy to work with. It allowed you to assign various tasks to people in the group, have sub tasks for any task, even sub tasks for sub tasks, and it's all GUI.
It does have a memory leak, so if you leave it open for hours it'll take up 1-2GB of ram on its own. That's the only real negative I can find.
I will soon for sure! Do you have a checklist of tasks that need to be done, including future plans/goals? If not maybe you should open something up on Asana or Pivital Tracker. I'd really like to see something like this so I can help out easier.
Why not use the Asana <> Slack integration?
https://slack.com/intl/en-gb/blog/developers/asana-boosts-user-engagement-with-slack
And honestly, that’s the whole point of Slack integrations: not having to switch to another app for repetitive actions, “low value” actions (like click “Approve”, etc, assigning tasks, getting alerts about milestones, etc)
Integrate everything! There’s over 2500 integrations already available in the app directory: https://slack.com/apps
My job title is “product manager.” But it is also known as product owner.
Here is a decent definition of the role. Note that the word product in this description refers to software. Like an app or a program.
Okay so these are pretty good categories as a basis in your case. The next step I think would help is realizing their priorities and realistically, how much time do you have for these goals?
If you're too busy, then you can save the ones less important for later. Personally here's my general task list and what it looks like
- Priorities (things that absolutely need to be done)
- Personal priorities (things that you like doing and should be done but still considered work, like in terms of physical, this could be a certain amount of exercise per day.)
- Barrier (enough spare time in case something takes longer than it should like your work goes overtime or have something else come up)
- Personal time (YOU NEED TIME TO YOURSELF, time to rest is still just as important)
Even if you have categories, it'll take adjustments over time, I want you to focus on what works best for you. The balance between work and play, how you get motivated best, things like that.
All is part of the process and don't let that disappoint you if you feel like you need to do more or couldn't do enough in your mind. Just realize it's a refining process
If you're the type to need an online calendar or task list I personally use Asana and setting up my own categories, making checklists and able to list due dates help me a lot using this.
Sounds like it'd work for you as well so hopefully it's something to your liking if you do choose to try it out.
"The sunk cost fallacy is our tendency to continue with something we’ve invested money, effort, or time into—even if the current costs outweigh the benefits. When we fall prey to the sunk cost fallacy, we make irrational decisions that are against our best interest—essentially digging ourselves into a deeper and deeper hole."
https://asana.com/resources/sunk-cost-fallacy
This applies to Calvin Ayre. He has spent so much money now that he feels obliged to continue to do so in he hopes of getting his initial investments back. Contrary to Calvin's expectations he will not getting his money back. Instead he is throwing his money away.
Thus I expect Calvin to continue funding Craig Wright even if he loses in Norway AND in the UK. There will not be a grand finale where the whole thing comes crashing down I think. Instead the cult will slowly fade away.
Hard same, particularly the last bullet. I crave the dopamine hit of being able to create something and futz with it until it's perfect -- even (especially?) if it's not a true value-add.
To counteract this tendency, I write a to-do list (a nice time waster in and of itself, but important in this case) and then force myself to divvy it up into eisenhower matrix quadrants. It makes me focus on what's above the line (Do, and Schedule categorized tasks), and then I use distractions from below the line (Delegate, and Delete tasks) as rewards if I need a quick win.
In a perfect world, I really would Delegate and Delete those less useful tasks, but humans aren't machines -- I think the downtime helps me focus better when it's time to be properly productive again. Plus you can let your mind wander when doing something repetitive like building spreadsheets -- and sometimes come up with big project ideas that will be more meaningful.
A small tip – keep an eye on the tools that can speed up the process and help you complete your tasks faster. For example, being in digital marketing, proposal templates save me a lot of time. Also, I keep track of my tasks thanks to Asana. If I’m out of inspiration and on a deadline – Jasper does the trick. Considering that you have 4 hours per day, explore automation and integrations you can make. It will eventually depend on profits, if you see that you can make a consistent profit for, say, three months, I believe you’ll be safe to leave your current job and run your own small business successfully. Good luck!
I use Portfolios (https://asana.com/guide/help/premium/portfolios) to track how projects are doing. You can put multiple projects into a Portfolio and then use status updates and custom fields to organize them.
Well, I just use the free version of Asana but the premium version has dependencies.
https://asana.com/guide/help/tasks/dependencies
I haven't used MS Project but several other ERP tools over the years. For me, Asana is the best because of how clean and intuitive most of it is.
With the competitors find what unique levers the company may have (factual or assumptions) over competitors then look for possible verticals or opportunities with minimal, some, maximum effort.
i.e. for a caller id/CRM product with large network of infrastructure hospitality, healthcare, airlines are great industries to tap.
From their you can Google ballpark studies and statistics on the individual markets, choose which is best, etc
I'm Autistic and ADHD and have GAD, and I use Asana (https://asana.com/) to help me organize my work and life tasks. They have an online version and an app that is easy to use, and the free plan has everything you need. For me, having a clear to-do list helps a lot with the panic and anxiety, and being able to look at how much I want to do today vs what is realistic for me to get done in a day has helped me reset my expectations.
I'm sorry you struggle with this, but I totally understand! Good luck!
This link might be helpful. You can also send the email to projects, teams, etc.
It might make more sense to send another email the invitation, then have that email automatically forward to asana adding collaborators, changing the title, etc. Depending on your email provider, you could leave Zapier out of it completely while getting the task automated just the way you want.
There is a Rule called the 80-20 rule
It basically says that 20% of your customers account for 80% of you business and 80% of you customers account for 20% of you business.
There is a real math to that...look it up Its known as the Pareto rule
Oddly the 80-20 rule seems to fit everything
20% of the people you know account for 80% of you time
So, fixing the problems of 20% of crap customers accounts for 80% of your time.
Firing customers is a way to fix that problem.
Capitalism is the system that people rely on in the absence of a government. Property rights are natural and assumed without a government. Without a government, property thieves get killed for the most minor property crimes. So I say again, capitalism is the natural mode of exchange used by people, and socialism is the system orchestrated by bureaucrats and brown shirts. The only system that sticks like a thorn in everyone's ass is socialism.
>Private enterprise, capital loans and gains, it's all a massive waste of time and effort designed to funnel material wealth to the top and consolidate it into a smaller and smaller set of hands.
Its not designed to do shit. The reason why capital accumulates is the same reason why most fungus and plant life grows in 10% of all the water available on earth - its called the pareto principle. If you hate capitalism so much, just fuck off to a cave somewhere and do your socialism with other balloon heads, so that the rest of humanity can partake in the greatest collective invention of mankind, which is called capitalism.
This turned into a very long essay on my work habits that I’ve developed through school and work. Rereading your comment I’m realizing you are a pastor and might not find this useful.
When I know I have a lot of work to get through I turn my phone off and close my email. I’ll return any calls or emails at the end of the day. That helps me focus.
Sometimes I’ll play white noise in the my headphones if the office is noisy, I try to do this off of my phone and keep the phone in the drawer so I’m not fiddling with it.
It also helps me to work off of strict to-do list. If I see something that needs to be done I’ll stop doing what I need to do and do that instead. Rinse, repeat and half my work day is gone doing unimportant things.
I also prioritize my work off of the [urgent-critical matrix](https://www.developgoodhabits.com/eisenhower-matrix/). If I have more complex projects I plan out my work with a PERT chart .
I know my pastor plans his days down to the hour; I’m not sure how he estimates how long tasks take though. Most likely through experience; I’m not able to do that consistently though; oftentimes I’m meeting get planned last minute or there’s a “fire” that needs putting out.
Here's where a magical tool comes to you. It's called the Sunk Cost Fallacy. It's what's behind sayings like "In for a penny, in for a pound." Weddings and funerals are both expert at ratcheting themselves skyward to where the couple are signing off on "just a little more for the deluxe version" on every single thing, and the grifters around them are extracting the cash. The very fact that no one has enough money for this is what's adding to its attraction.
You stepping out may help them regain their footing but even if "I don't know what came over us" is years or never away, you're not losing what you can't afford to lose.
I've got an answer from them:
"While a guest would be able to comment, and edit where allowed, they would not be able to change custom fields (reference on this here).
If you share a task with them -> they will only see that task.
If you share a project with them -> they will see that project and all tasks within that project.
If you invite them to a team -> they will see all projects within that team."
Sehr lange carpe diem. Inzwischen Eat the frog first.

Sure you can get 80% of Ayton production out of a role player like Looney, it’s the extra 20% that can put a team over the edge and win a title
The thing about fluid intelligence is that it often isn't possible to improve or maybe I just don't know how. But it's generally agreed upon as that intrinsic born with ability (i.e eidetic memory).
Although I do agree with playing to your strength, but sometimes that just isn't possible.
However, memory, skills and experience are all things you CAN improve and retain and this all comes down to practice and consistency. What a lot of people like you tend to overlook is that just because you naturally pick things up quickly, you don't necessary "master" them. You still haven't put in the time or effort in order to refine and master those skills or concepts. I'm guilty of the same. When I was younger, I'd pick up on things quick but I never took the time to actually retain them and that was because I had no discipline or consistency.
Memory is also something you can train and improve. Look into memorization techniques and the various types of memory. It's a whole different topic that you can spend hours upon hours reading up on.
Memory is something that can be trained. And like with most things, if you don't practice and apply it consistently, you're going to forget. Look into memorization techniques and ways to improve your memory if that's something you're weak at.
Hmm. A good question.
I think that I identified my strengths and let her know that we should lean into them also.
I think that this is not simple- people who talk about mental load almost always describe tactical rather than strategic ideas. I am strategic and my wife is tactical.
In particular I am good at making decisions with little or no information. I don’t mean that I go off half-cocked but that I am great at appraising risk and taking everyone’s general opinions into consideration.
I am also good at estimating long-term outcomes. Such as the overall benefit of whether we should be fixing leaks or getting a renovations instead- prices, effort etc.
Essentially I am a big-picture guy.
We divide the big picture and the small picture- when she lets me. I still pick up the kids and do the shopping… she audits the fridge and makes meal suggestions and leaves them on a note.
She has accepted my opinion when we come to roadblocks and impasses- they are almost always the most expedient and long-sighted solutions.

Thanks, I had a little play with this and it works really well - but unfortunately its too expensive to integrate Asana into Notion this way, it looks like it would cost about £38 a month to have enough Zapier "Zaps" and "Tasks". It's a real shame as this really makes Asana and Notion work together well.
Its frustrating because Notion/Asana claim they integrate for free by default - but it doesn't seem to actually work in practice.
Asana. I create tasks and subtasks and check them off as I go. You can duplicate tasks (and all of the subtasks within it) for future use. The free version works just fine, I've been using it for a few years

PM at it's deepest core is very much basically a spreadsheet or even just a to do list. So yeah simple at that level.
The real hard stuff is the multiple custom ways that people find to visualise and track things using different project management methodologies.
For instance waterfall, Gantt, pert, kanban, scrum, lean etc. This is the reason that professional PM software has a heavy emphasis on providing templates (either paid or free) to give people the ability to manage their projects how they want, depending on the pm methodology they want to use.
Here's an example https://asana.com/id/resources/project-management-methodologies
People spend more than half their day doing busy work, according to 10,000+ survey.
The annual work index, conducted in October 2021, found that people spent 58% of their day doing “work about work,” including communicating about work, searching for information, switching between apps, managing shifting priorities and chasing status updates.
Okay, so have you looked at Trello or Asana? They're much simpler than Jira. Trello might not be ideal because it's a simplistic kanban board really, but Asana really just visualizes tasks, and is very user friendly.
Github even has project boards if your devs are already there.
If all you want are documents, then what's wrong with just Google Drive or One Drive or something?
It's the classic project management triangle (time versus money versus project scope). You can only ever get two.
If you want quality in a short amount of time it's going to be expensive. In music, this usually means you hire a professional to do the work for you, in which case you're not really doing the work and getting better at that.
The truth is there are no shortcuts. If you want to get better at something you need to put in the time and work to get there. The only real shortcut is paying someone else who's already put the time and effort to get good. Although, either way someone ended up putting in all that work to become a pro at what they do.
Give Freelo.io a go, I have been using it for months at work and has worked great!
It is similar to Asana.com or Trello.com, but maybe it will suit you...
You may already know the Pareto principle, if not: https://asana.com/resources/pareto-principle-80-20-rule
Start with reading and listening to the most common words, which includes pretty much most normal conversations.
get a sense of sentence structuring
You can use Anki for spaced repetition learning
Get exposed to the language via podcasts with subtitles on YT, news, etc.
Speak the language yourself, emulate the speaker.
Find shortcuts: for example, in certain languages, leveraging the modal verbs can let you create virtually any sentence without having to learn the conjugations for all the other verbs. You only have to learn, let's say, 7 of them.
Hii, I’m currently in Y1 and i sort of relate with to your problems. Instead of showing you how I manager my time, maybe you might want to read up about parkinson's law and Hofstadter's law to help you with your time management? If you have free time to read them!
Parkinson’s law is https://asana.com/resources/parkinsons-law
Hofstadter’s law is https://theartofliving.com/hofstadters-law/
https://asana.com/resources/unconscious-bias-examples
You don’t always get the name of the buyer. They don’t have to disclose that information if they’re not inclined to. Rare, but it is an option. But going whole hog on internet stalking prospective buyers is just about the most clear cut example of affinity bias imaginable. You don’t actually know anything, but you’re taking a wild guess based on how something about that person struck you, consciously or unconsciously. If you want something to be done or not done to your house or on your property after you’ve sold it, a deed restriction is the appropriate method.
i don't think you'd necessarily need any third party tool to implement that.
have you looked at the asana workflow builder at all? https://asana.com/guide/help/premium/workflow-builder
even before workflow builder came out i've been able to do that with a couple rules, which look something like this:
IF [category] changes to [new category] OR project is moved to [new category], move project to [new category] AND change category to [new category]
just whip that rule up for all the different categories and you've got what you're looking for. projects will automatically be moved & re-categorized without having to both move & re-categorize them.
I think I see where you're going with this. And yes it is reasonable to be angry about that situation.
But it does sound like right now you're in "emotional response mode" ONLY when you need to be more thoughtful and consider all aspects of a Uni experience.
If you are worried about racism at a Uni ask students there about it and make it part of your pro/con decision-making. But don't forget to include Uwaterloo in that assessment as well!
It may help to take a step back by considering something like this: https://asana.com/resources/decision-matrix-examples
If you’re already in the Google atmosphere Asana may work well for you and is free or inexpensive depending on what you need/how many people on the team.
It’s a full project management software with timelines, dependencies, etc, and does have a board (similar to card) view. I also love the ease of integration with Google (like forward an email to add a task). You can build Google forms that create asana tasks, use SSO to log in with your Google account, attach Google drive files to tasks/projects, and it can sync with Google calendar.
I don’t work for asana but use it daily for work and love it enough that I have a personal account to for my home/personal projects.
Other options that I like are Trello, Airtable, Freedcamp, and Toggl - you’ll have to check out a few and see what best fits your team needs.
i was trying to imitate this , but it has a scroll down on click and component visual change, which are things figma can't do at the same time even with interactive component
I can relate to a me of the past. The key point here is:
we all have our personal procrastination sweet spot.
I crammed everything in the last few days for two exams recently; quite confident I aced them. I just couldn't put myself to work on them as seriously before the date was imminent; I felt I had an already solid foundation. I just summed all up in a few PowerPoint intj slides and built knowledge maps.
Martin Luther King 👑 Jr made history with a statement he kept revising until few hours before the statement itself took place.
- Why does it work?
An Italian economist and civil engineer who died a century ago, Vilfredo Pareti, highlights a possible solution, based on a frequently present set of circumstances.

A Jack of All trades is not that bad at all.
“Constructive criticism focuses on providing constructive feedback, supported by specific examples, to help you improve in some area. Constructive criticism should be offered in a friendly manner with good intentions” -https://asana.com/resources/constructive-criticism#what-is-constructive-criticism
There are a few task managers that have this feature:
Asana supports dependencies in the Premium version (https://asana.com/guide/help/tasks/dependencies).
Monday also has support for dependencies (https://www.monday.com/blog/project-management/task-dependencies/) but it’s only available in the desktop web version.
Plocs (https://plocs.com) has easy to use support for dependencies in the free app (disclaimer: I’m part of the team that is working on this).
It seems that more and more task management apps support dependencies, maybe it could be added to Todoist as well.
Use a decision matrix. List criteria required and mark each laptop you view against the criteria. Buy the one with the best score.
It's hard to say to be honest.
The major player really is JIRA.
Like when you look at https://asana.com/customers, they list out companies like Amazon, but Amazon uses Jira. There is a chance a new team or a smaller team might use Asan, but overall, it was mainly JIRA. I think there more room to grow, but I think the market will really be going after smaller companies.
Beep. Boop. I'm a bot.
It seems the URL that you shared contains trackers.
Try this cleaned URL instead: https://asana.com/terms#privacy-statement
If you'd like me to clean URLs before you post them, you can send me a private message with the URL and I'll reply with a cleaned URL.

Maybe you should find an alternative to Clickup. Like Asana or Trello. Moreover, If you have a lot of apps with which you work, you can try Mailbird and control everything from one place. Moreover, this client can integrate with many apps and tools, such as Trello and Asana.
Hope you will cope with this problem!
That sounds like two apps - one for task management and one for calendar management. Asana is good for task management (God I wish someone told my company it wasn't program management though).
It also has out of the box calendar integration with most of your major calendar apps. https://asana.com/guide/help/api/calendar-sync Share your business calendars that I would assume you already have with your email with each other so you can see what you are doing. Tasks with due dates show up on the calendar.
I am the same. And I will try to help you the best as I can.
No matter what task this would have been. This is really the only issue:
> I hate myself because of it and no matter how much I try I just can’t.
This will mentally drain you, and affect how well you can handle any task at hand.
First of all my dentist always tells me, you need to brush your teeth twice a day. Fuck that, I got ADHD if I do it once, that's good enough for me.
Second, for years I've been planning my life on todo-lists such as Asana.com Brushing my teeth is a task on a daily repeat on that list. Still, I don't do it every day. Maybe 5 days a week. The most important thing here is that I'm OK with it.
Also, I don't brush my teeth in the morning because I always wake up late and need to rush to work, and I don't to it at night because it always "oh fuck time is already XX" and I need to go to bed. I work from home so I tend to brush my teeth (and take the daily shower) during my lunch break. You don't need to brush your teeth at the same time most people do "because it's better" find a time that works for you, because brushing your teeth once a day at any time is better than not at all.
I have also ready on this sub that some people brush their teeth in the shower because then they have something to do when they are showing (might work for you?).
Anyway, if you like me find time for it once a day 5 days a week. Compensate by really taking care of your oral hygiene. Brush them really well, floss, brush your tongue, use mouthwash, use whitening toothpaste. It's daunting at first when it means you have "to do more", but after a while when you realize that it helps your oral hygiene and the effects it has on it, its actually pretty fun :)
