How I Set Up Asana as a Freelance Grant Writer

@Arthur_Davis,

Thank you for writing this up–I’m sure it will be very useful to many folks; there are often questions about use cases and your example and write-up will be helpful not just for grant writers but many similar use cases.

You don’t need my approval certainly, but I think you made excellent choices and tradeoffs and would not quibble with any of your decisions or approaches. (Of course there are many ways to do things in Asana, and you could do this many ways, but I don’t see any major reasons to try to change anything.)

I’m not sure what plan you’re on, but I don’t see why this all wouldn’t work on the Basic (free) plan.

I think your use case is aligned with my approach as outlined here:

which may be of interest to others who are considering how to set things up in Asana. (You are much more succinct than I am in your write-up though!)

Finally, I was pleased to note that you use my

extension. Since one of the use cases of Asana2Go is to allow one to work with others who do not use Asana (as you point out), perhaps it could be used to streamline your grant calendar Google Sheet to enable you to keep it in Asana (if beneficial to you to do) yet share the Asana2Go output (so others don’t need to login to Asana).

Well done!

Larry
