1 As the name suggests, it normally involves visual “blocks” that show how you’ve decided to budget your time.Īnd if you use Google Calendar, you can start time blocking right there with Todoist and a little initial setup. So Asana, for your own sake, and for the sake all of us on this thread who have been asking for this feature for the past 5+ years (and all of those who haven’t spoken up or don’t know to), PLEASE have just one guy from your dev team work a fraction of his time on adding this feature.If you’re looking for a good way to organize your time, “time blocking” can be in incredibly helpful approach. Sunsama is going after Asana, stating that their customer is the organization managing the work and not the user doing the work and that Asana doesn’t care much about the person doing the work day today which is why the feature has never been built. I’m considering paying it for this functionality alone, but this should be a workflow/feature that comes standard with Asana. I’m in the trial right now but it’s $20/mo. I discovered Sunsama the other day which pulls your Asana (and tasks from other platforms) to plan what you need to get done that day then takes you to the next step with a nice drag and drop onto your calendar for when you are going to do them. This is not a hard feature to build and would add value to every user who starts their day with Asana.Īn entire new app company is being developed to solve this problem and the workflow of this app should be something that is built into Asana.

For a productivity tool it’s shocking that they don’t complete the final step in the process of letting you add your daily tasks to your calendar to be done at specific times.

I’ve also been asking Asana to build this for 5 years with no luck.
