Incorporating Asana
At work, Liz and I rely on different software for our day to day. She uses Asana and I use Jira.
For our personal “stuff,” we’ve tried a few different things over the years (Basecamp and Trello come to mind).
Lately, I jumped in to Asana, and we’ve been working together on various projects.
It’s not quite right to me, but it’s right enough that I’ve started to reach for it more and more. Whenever we have a discussion and some random to-do task comes up… I’ll fire up the iPhone Asana app and make sure to enter it, lest I lose track of it. And try to assign some kind of due date, even if it’s just a placeholder.
So far, it’s been… good? I feel like I’m at least tracking the work we need to do, even if that work isn’t necessarily all happening.
For my work work, I still tend to prefer OmniFocus (though I’m convinced I use less than 10% of its true capabilities). But for personal work, Asana has worked out pretty well.

Trying to Get “Getting Things Done” Done
I’ve started to use Asana again for personal projects. I’ve used Asana on and off in the past, and I like it.
Recently I tried Trello, but the free version doesn’t let you assign tasks to other people. Asana does.
