Organize by day of the week and add tasks based on the day you’ll complete/work on them.Here are the 2 ways I set these up for clients: They all have due dates, but that only helps her prioritize when they need to be complete, not when she’ll work on them. She then manually organizes her tasks based on the order she wants to work on them. Instead, she has a simple list where only the tasks that are due that week or the next are added. Another client finds this overwhelming and feels pressure to get all the tasks done on that day. Several of my clients as well as myself have our This Week board’s organized by day of the week with a column at the end called, “Upcoming” or “Next Week”.
There are many ways you can setup your own This Week board.
There are 2 reasons why and I want to break them down and then share how to setup a This Week board. You may be wondering, well if this is automatically built into Asana, why would you create a new project that does just that?įor all of the pros that come with My Tasks, there are some cons and ultimately the reason why I don’t use this feature to organize my daily tasks. I dive into the My Tasks and how to use it in a previous post. In the My Tasks feature, you’re able to create sections and add new tasks to your list just like you would on any other project. You can also view completed tasks and incomplete tasks. My Tasks is a list format where you can sort by due date, project, likes or nothing at all. Asana has a great feature called My Tasks, where you can quickly see at a glance all of the tasks that have been assigned to you (whether they have a due date or not).
We do this because now that we’ve added all of their tasks and projects to Asana, my clients need one place to see all that the need to do that week. One of the first things I set up for my project management clients in their Asana account, is a This Week board.
