What is the best template to use in Asana

For organizing my work life which template do you recommend is the best?

That is a very broad question, and the right answer will depend strongly on you, your needs, and your preferences.

I would start one of 2 ways:

  1. Bottoms up - create Tasks for each thing you know you have to do (such as “Update the cover sheet for the TPS report”), and use Asana to plan them all into a schedule

OR

  1. Top down, like the familiar (to baby boomers?) Franklin Covey method. Start with your very highest level work goals and aspirations (such as, finish my MBA or develop a strong network in X field), and then build lower level goals and actions that support each level above, until you find yourself noting down truly actionable tasks.
