Another thing I find really useful in Asana is the ability to very quickly enter tasks (with no detail).
For instance:
  • In a list of tasks (or subtasks), and with the cursor on any task line, I can simply hit return which creates a new line = an empty/untitled task which I then name/describe (e.g. 'Make a coffee'). This is then immediately a task which I can flesh out later
  • In either of the above locations, I can also copy/paste a list of tasks of any length from plain text directly into Asana in the same way
NOTE: any tasks created by me are assigned to me by default and live in my 'New tasks' area clearly waiting to be dealt with (e.g. assigned to a project, set due date, add notes or subtasks etc)
Again, hope that makes sense and keen to know your thoughts.
Thanks.
