A wise man I know (Houcem if you read me) taught me a valuable lesson that I try to apply more often than not: start finishing stop starting.
What would happen if we applied this method to Asana, and everyone would pick an overdue task from someone else instead of starting their own task?
I tried, and I am quite excited about this approach. The other day, I was done with my overdue tasks. I looked at my partner’s @Julien_RENAUD to-do list in Asana and was able to help him on about a dozen. I canceled a bunch, completed the work on some, unassigned some… I believe it helped move the needle!
I also asked him if that was ok to request clarifications on some tasks in order to help, or if it would just increase his workload, but he agreed!
Since then, I have had a system in place that alerts me whenever someone on the team has more than 20 overdue tasks, so I can help them!
Do you want to try out this approach?
