![]() ![]() I did find it a bit cumbersome at first with the lack of consistency (the notification from the inbox version versus the new task dialog from the task settings version versus just creating them from scratch). By always going to the task to fiddle with the description and title, the lack of a immediate dialog to fill options in on has diminished as an issue for me. So yeah, habits help and at the end of the day it comes down to what works best for you. In all cases I’ve just gotten used to spending some time going to the new task and doing a bit of work on it. I’ll create a new task from scratch (I might forward an email to Asana, or create a task in my inbox or the follow-up project).From other tasks that might not be mine (I do this by clicking the “…” for the task and selecting “Create Follow-up Task”). ![]() From the “Create Reminder Task” link in my inbox.Things like that.īasically I create follow-up tasks three different ways (2 are set up in settings on the hacks tab) Often I have expectations I want to record in case I forget details by the time it comes up again. For instance, I want a due date of when I want to be reminded to think about it. I usually have special notes and details I want to add to follow-up tasks so I almost always want to go to them anyway. For that one I just click the notification window that pops up in the lower left to go straight to the new task and fix it. So other than adding the tasks to the project, there’s not much to make it cumbersome for me.Īs for the Remind Tasks not giving you immediate options, I’m guessing you’re using the “Create Reminder Task” link you see on inbox items. ![]() The summary Follow-Up project is also a List Project (instead of Board), so by default the tasks disappear as I complete them. Hi me, I only add follow-up tasks to the summary “Follow Up” project as a way to find all of them if I want to. Let me know if you have questions or want more specifics. This way I don’t have to leave things in my Inbox when I know I want to respond and I can prioritize them in My Tasks based on when I want to deal with them rather than having them be a full interruption. This allows me to check in on things that maybe aren’t assigned to me but need my input, or something I want to go back to and comment on later but don’t have time to currently. I always use the same procedure for these by adding them to the follow-up project and setting due dates. I also use the “Reminder Tasks from Inbox” and “Follow-Up Tasks from Right Pane” hacks in my profile settings to easily create follow up tasks. Because it’s a private project it doesn’t clutter up the team’s project list for other team members. The Follow-Up project also gives me one place to go to see all the things I’m personally waiting on across all projects. Then I mark the task for Later (TAB+L from within the task) and it goes away off into the Later section of My Tasks and won’t bother me again until the due date arrives. I also set a due date for the task for when I want it to show back up in My Tasks under Today. If a task I’m working on becomes dependent on someone else for something, or if I can’t work on it right away, I’ll add the “Follow-Up” project to the task (while leaving any existing projects as they are). I created a private “Follow-Up” project specifically to track things I’m blocked on or need to follow up on. ![]()
