Yes I bet you’re not seeing Milestone tasks in My Tasks for the reason you give (I can see them in a regular, org-wide paid plan).
Re My Tasks organization:
- I never open Later and use Later tasks without a due date as a dumping ground for tasks that I don’t/can’t unassign myself from but don’t need to look at, e.g, in an AOR (Areas of Responsibility) type project where I’m assigned to functions, as one example.
- I am careful never to put a task I care about in Later unless I give it a future due date first so that it will auto-promote, which I do very often to clear the way until needed.
- The above may be at odds with your triage approach, until you get the backlog triaged.
- Check out the way I set up Sections in my own My Tasks–it’s the big screenshot and brief explanation ahead of it in this Asana blog post:
Finally, regarding +1 week in the Due Date field, see this entire thread for various other shortcuts:
