In a previous post, I shared how to organize yourself and your business. In case you missed it, you can check out that post here – 9 Ways to Get Your Business Organized Right Now.
To manage my business tasks I use Asana, a project management software. If you are not familiar with project management software, it is a tool to help you plan, organize, and manage your work from start to finish. You can even coordinate team tasks, so everyone knows who is doing what and when, share feedback, files, status updates, and even get a complete view of a project.
It can also help you organize individual and team tasks in one shared space. With Asana’s app, it’s easy to collaborate with your team or check your task list no matter where you are.
If you are looking for ways for you or your team to be more productive, Asana is a great tool to help with that. Imagine ending your workdays with a sense of satisfaction. It isn’t hard, it just requires you to be more deliberate about how you manage your time. Here is a list of things Asana can help with.
Put Your To-Dos in Writing
This will help you so you can stop scrambling and free up time to work purposely. If your to-dos occur every Monday, once a month, or once a year, you can easily set tasks to reoccur. You can even create a standardized to-do list for Onboarding New Clients or Customers.
Make Information Easy to Find
Instead of spending time looking through emails, spreadsheets, or even handwritten notes, keep the information, like project plans and meeting notes, in one place to make sure everyone has access to all the same information all in one convenient location.
Don’t Reinvent the Wheel
Save time by creating and sharing templates. For recurring projects and tasks, you don’t need to start from scratch. Creating templates not only saves time but also reduces the opportunity for mistakes and provides a process anyone can follow to get work done.
Keep Work Organized with one Tool
One way to keep you or your team on the same page and avoid duplicating efforts is by using one tool to organize and share work. You can also eliminate confusion by making sure everyone knows who’s doing what and when.
Organize it All in one Place
Organize you projects and tasks, share files, leave comments and feedback in one location, and make it easy for you or your entire team to get everything they need to turn ideas into action faster.
Prioritize Tasks and Increase Productivity
With a desktop and a mobile app, you can manage your tasks on the go, no matter where you are.
Set Due Dates and Never Miss Deadlines
Easily assign tasks to team members. Set due dates for larger projects and subtasks in an easy-to-view method.
Resources Available at Your Fingertips
Asana offers a ton of resources to help you master all the amazing tools it offers. Including webinars that share best practices, tips, tricks, and advice, you can even sign up for interactive courses and webinars through Asana Academy.
Managing projects is hard work. Even harder if you don’t use project management software, have work spread across many different tools, or have nothing at all. It’s easy to lose track of all the moving pieces – and tough to stay up to date. That’s when things fall through the cracks. Asana is a tool to organize projects, make communication easy, and allow you to hit your deadlines.
If you are ready to stop wasting time trying to figure out what to work on next, then you need to check out Asana to see if it is the right fit for you and your business. From the small stuff to the big picture, Asana organizes work so you know what to do, why it matters, and how to get it done.
