The goal is to have your entire workload in Asana.

As Justin says, you have to trust it as the source of all correct and up-to-date information.

Here's how you can do this:

A.) Type in a description for each new task.

This is where the most up-to-date information on each task should live.

B.) Each task has an option for team member to comment on specific tasks.

You can @mention any member of your team within the comment thread to make sure they see it and add followers to a task so they can follow the thread.

You can also @mention any previous task put into Asana. Then the person can easily reference back to that task complete with all comments + the description.

In your inbox on Asana, you can see which tasks you have been added to as a follower and you can choose to unfollow that task if you wish.

C.) Send an email in your normal email inbox directly to Asana by forwarding it to x@mail.asana.com.

You can choose in your settings which workspace this goes to.

D.) If you don't alter your settings, then Asana will send you updates on each tasks and daily digests, which does the opposite of freeing you up on email.

To avoid this, go into settings and turn off your email notifications. Then, get into the habit of checking your Asana inbox at the beginning/end of each day.
