🎨 If Asana is your canvas and you are the artist…

Hi everyone,

Happy Friday!!! How about a little fun before we log off for the weekend?

If Asana is your canvas and you are the artist… then what art movement does your workspace usually belong to? :artist_palette:

Is your setup more MoMA or meme folder? Minimal and tidy, or gloriously chaotic?
Maybe you’re living your best Marie Kondo life with a minimalist masterpiece, automating like a Pop Art machine, or vibing in the delightful disorder of Dadaism (emoji tasks and all).

Whatever your style, we’d love to know:

Which art movement best captures your Asana setup? :paintbrush::framed_picture:

  • Minimalism — What you see is what you see.

    No fluff, just clean, calm tasks that get straight to the point. Your workspace is sleek, simple, and intentional, with no distractions, just focus:

  • Maximalism — The more the merrier.

    Custom fields, tags, subtasks (with subtasks), and detailed project plans galore. You love piling on details to cover every possibility. Your workflow is bursting with information, and you thrive in it:

  • Bauhaus — Form follows function.

    Everything is gridded, neat, and organized into columns. Templates and workflows bring structure and consistency. You believe clean lines and order make for the most efficient work:

  • Cubism — See every side.

    Your projects are a collage of timelines, custom fields, and team views, showing every angle of a task. You juggle multiple perspectives and workflows simultaneously. Picasso would be proud (or maybe just confused):

  • Dadaism — Beautiful chaos.

    Deadlines are suggestions. Rules? Optional. Your Asana is a delightful mess of surprise emojis, cryptic task names like “notes” or “dsadsadsa” and half-finished projects that somehow… still get results. Bonus points if you’ve got a cluster of “New task” drafts gathering dust at the bottom of your Asana.

  • Surrealism — Dreamy, a little weird, and weirdly effective.

    Your workflow is like stepping into a dreamscape: timelines bend and twist, recurring tasks appear where you least expect them, and projects flow in unexpected ways. Automations hum softly like hidden whispers, keeping things moving even when it feels like chaos. All a bit strange, but somehow perfectly productive.

  • Pop Art — Mass production, baby!

    You’re all about scaling, efficiency and speed, leveraging AI features, bundles, templates, and automation rules to crank out projects fast and flawlessly. Your workflow is a colorful machine built to move.

So, when it comes to Asana, what kind of artist are you? Vote and drop a comment to tell us more! :artist: :woman_artist:

I’ll go first: I have to confess, generally, I’m definitely more of a Dadaist in Asana :sweat_smile: My workspace is a kind of organized, intentional chaos, and it works really well for me! But like art itself, it’s always shifting, reinventing, evolving. Some days it looks like one of Dalí’s wildest paintings, all melting timelines and floating tasks. Other days, it’s calm and steady, like a peaceful Bob Ross landscape. I just have to trust the process. :artist_palette: :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

I’ve gotten occasional eyebrow-raised looks from colleagues when we discuss a task and have to scroll down past all the custom fields just to reach the description. This is especially true for tasks multi-homed and managed across several teams and projects! It’s always been my opinion that the more context I can pump into a single task, the better!

I have a reference project for inventory tracking where each task has a massive amount of data. I’ll even use feedbacks to create subtasks helping identify individual items in a picture of a closet. This maybe isn’t the cleanest process (especially when something moves in the picture!) but there are plenty of custom fields and useful sections to move those re-homed subtasks through if I don’t want to go all the way back to the 9th floor to take updated pictures.

I’m with you @Joshua_Gist! Especially now that we’re using AI to generate smart summaries, status updates, etc. The more context it has to work with, the better the results. Even if it means scrolling a bit, that extra detail can really pay off :smile:
