How is it I go into asana, and there is nothing listed? [2025-03-10_17-10-54] Wait, it is because the item type is “recently assigned” and not “todo” ? That is a thing? How do I set automatically on task creation: task type: ToDo assignedTo: me Project: my default project

Why is the default list empty of ToDos ? I have a bunch!

Asana uses Recently Assigned as the place to deliver tasks others or Asana assign to you. You can read about “My Tasks” in help.asana.com.

Most would recommend you not to create a default project for yourself because that’s what My Tasks is for.

My set of recommendations for My Tasks is found here, in case it’s of value to you:

Thanks,
