Hi Asana Community!
It’s Erica, a Product Marketing Manager here on the Asana Desktop team! I want to share that desktop app users will now see an Asana icon appear in their menu bars (Mac users) or system trays (Windows users). This new icon for the desktop app will help you protect time for heads down work - learn more below!
Stay focused on your most important tasks
With My Priorities, see your most important tasks based on due date by clicking on the Asana icon in the menu bar or system tray. From here, you can also complete tasks, or add new tasks by filling out the field or utilizing the [Shift] + [CMD] + [+] shortcut.
Make progress on the work that matters most- with no interruptions
When you’re ready to dive into an important task, select it from the list of My Priorities and set a timer. We recommend utilizing the pomodoro method (25 minutes of concentration, followed by a 5 minute break)! Do Not Disturb mode will also be turned on to pause your Asana notifications. When you’re finished, complete the task, or click on the dots in the upper right corner to exit.
These new features will be available to users in phases over the next several week. If you have questions or feedback about anything we shared, we’d love to hear from you!
Thanks!
