Asana: Work Management

Asana is for when you need to know who’s doing what by when, especially across time zones. It’s one of those tools that makes remote work feel less stressful because it forces clarity. Tasks have owners, there are deadlines for every task, and projects have timelines. And you can see what’s close to its due date before it turns into an emergency.

Asana supports rules that help your work move through stages without the need to manually babysit every task. You can automate your work using rules and custom fields, which can reduce the annoyance of managers constantly asking you what you’re doing because the system handles the handoffs. 

Asana also works flawlessly on your iPhone. You can check the status of your current tasks and update them if needed. You’re probably not going to build complex projects from your phone, but you can check what’s due, update tasks, assign things quickly, and stay aligned without needing to open a laptop.
