Hey everyone,  
I thought I’d share how I’m using Asana to manage the content calendar for my [blog](https://paulminors.com/blog/ "blog").

As you can see, I’m using sections to organise content by month and then set the due date as the publish date of that blog post/podcast. I use tags like email, blog post, podcast and youtube to categories the tasks into different types of content.

Since Asana released custom fields I’m also using a custom field to highlight the status of the post. So I have a dropdown showing whether a post is an “idea”, “in progress” or “finalised”.

As a bonus tip - I have task templates for various types of content with subtasks that I use as a checklist of what needs to be done before publishing that piece of content. So for a podcast interview I have subtasks to schedule the interview, edit the show etc… and for blogs I have a checklist to make sure I’ve optimised the post for SEO and scheduled social media updates etc… When I have a new blog post idea, I simply duplicate one of these templates and then all the appropriate subtasks area ready to go.

Hope this helps some people
