EP 20: For Business Owners: Organize your To-Dos with Asana

“It’s almost like a miracle, that you can get so much done in a short amount of time,” says host Corinne Morahan about Asana, the task management system that she uses to organize the daily tasks involved in running her two businesses, Grid + Glam and The Corinne Morahan Brand. Asana goes above and beyond a task list by organizing your tasks in a way that makes sense for you, increasing efficiency, streamlining communication, keeping your team on task and eliminating the dreaded micromanagement. On today’s episode, Corinne explains how Asana will make growing and scaling your business—whatever that means for you—infinitely easier. Whether you’re navigating the “Wild West” of entrepreneurship as a small business owner, looking to work more efficiently as an employee or manage the daily tasks in your personal life, Corinne will show you how Asana will change the way you Get Organized for Good. 

 

As Corinne reminds us in every episode, setting up the system—which does take a minute, but is totally worth it—is only the first step. You must create—and stick to—the daily habit of checking in with it. Corinne explains how she uses  Asana in a typical day at work, and how it can help you with your weekly Sunday reset, organize a trip with your family, and other day-to-day activities. 

 

Are you ready to make your life easier, more organized and efficient? Corinne will help you get started. Join the episode to learn where to access her complimentary tutorial and downloadable template. 

 

Quotes

• “Asana allows you to essentially do a brain dump of every single task that must be completed in your business. It allows you to organize those tasks in a way that actually makes sense. It allows you to communicate with your team in an efficient way, literally assign your team tasks and due dates, and you can tag them in comments to give them more context, all while keeping everyone on task and on time without—and this is a huge one—without having to micromanage. Ain’t no one got time for that.” (5:25 | Corinne Morahan) 
• “Invest in systems and processes. It is truly the only way to scale a bigger, more successful, more lucrative business.” (7:39 | Corinne Morahan)
• “Yes, it can take a hot minute to set it up, but once it’s up and running, I guarantee you that it will improve your efficiency and it will allow you to manage multiple projects and clients at once.” (12:16 | Corinne Morahan)
• “We always say that Asana is our boss. Yes, the ideas came from us but when we put it in Asana, the due dates are non-negotiable and we just get our work done based on that and it really is a way to give that structure to the entrepreneurial landscape which can feel like it is really out of control sometimes.” (14:51 | Corinne Morahan) 
• “You have to create the habit of actually using it. It’s both pieces—it’s like everything I talk about in organizing: you can create the system but if you don’t create the habit and the routine around it, the system ain’t going to work for you, no matter how brilliantly you create this Asana board.” (16:50 | Corinne Morahan)
