Great overview video and a strong set of tips and links to get a handle on My Tasks. One more link I’d like to add, which really cuts across your Tips 1-4, and maybe some of 5, is my recommended approach to quickly coming up to speed with your My Tasks, including Rules and Custom Sections: > [@Your Simple (or Advanced) Strategy for Asana’s My Tasks](https://forum.asana.com/t/your-simple-or-advanced-strategy-for-asana-s-my-tasks/121623): > > Note: Most recent article update: April 2024 I’ve just published the article linked above to Medium (free access). I hope both existing Asana users grappling with My Tasks version 2 (currently being deployed), as well as new users to Asana, will check it out because it was written with all of you in mind. This comprehensive article on My Tasks: Outlines a simple but highly functional My Tasks setup with brief, step-by-step setup and use instructions, Explores an advanced My Tasks approach… Thanks, Larry ---

Hi @bryan20 and welcome to the forum! > [@bryan20](#): > > What is a single source of truth as it relates to My Tasks A user’s My Tasks is comprised of all tasks which are assigned to that user. If that didn’t answer your question, can you elaborate a bit more on what you mean?
