One built-in function that most people don't utilize is the attachment button.

Let's say that you want your virtual assistant to update your social media and list building analytics.

You can assign the task and attach the spreadsheet directly from Google Drive, Dropbox or as a regular document from your hard drive.

This saves them time from having to search for the document and saves you time because you avoid potential emails about confusion.

Another useful shortcut if you use the browser Google Chrome is to install the Asana widget from the Chrome store. It's totally free, and it lives right above your bookmarks bar.

So if you're searching the interwebs and you suddenly remember a task, you can just hit that extension, type in the task and quickly add it, which avoids you having to open Asana and find the right workspace.

Later you can go into Asana and assign a due date, an assignee, and add any extra notes you might have.

Another way to make Asana more fun is to simply change your background theme.

I don't know about you but I like making the space I work in something that I like to constantly look at.

You can change your setting simply by going to 'account settings' and then choosing the 'theme' tab.

Finally, if you want to make task management a little bit more exciting, you can add apps from Asana's marketplace.

You can find Asana's apps at this link.

There are options to integrate services you might already be using like Evernote, Zendesk, Mailchimp, Fancyhands.

The more streamlined you can make your business, the easier it is for you honor your community energy toward creating brilliant experiences and content.
