Hello
who uses Asana to help with organising personal tasks?
I am keen to set up a small range of personal projects such as holiday planning, organising finances (I’d need the formula custom fields for this) and also to support caring for my elderly parents.
I’ve previously tried the free account but the lack of functionality really frustrated me after using my enterprise + account every day at work.
Does anybody have any top tips or does this themselves? I’ve heard some advice about doing this in your work instance but even with private projects I don’t think this is particularly ethical.
Share your use cases with me to help give me some ideas on the best way to do this!
Thanks

I would suggest utilising My Tasks for the job. Create sections for holiday planning, organising finances and supporting your parents. Add tasks there, add custom fields within your My Tasks. If the tasks aren’t part of a project - they’ll be private to you and this is one of the reasons My Tasks to exist - this is the place where you can add both your professional and personal tasks. Hope this helps.

Just to be sure, I’d like to confirm.
Here’s my suggestion: What do you think about the following method?
- Create a private team
- Create various personal projects within that team
Hiya
If I create a private team I presume this won’t be visible to anyone else?
I was thinking I could set up a private project but didn’t want to do that in my team instance.
I’m also not keen on just merging all my personal tasks with my professional tasks as I often share my tasks during training sessions so my preference is to keep it all separate.
Interested in your thoughts!
Thanks
Vanessa

Reference: Team admin
My advice is to just introduce the feature.
At the very least, super admins can see private content.
(Just to be safe, I recommend using a personal Asana account for truly personal tasks.)
