ALERTS: Asana Bugs & Problems (urgent)
🚨 ALERT: We did it! Asana has brought back overdue tasks to reports for tasks due soon!
OVERVIEW
Last week, with no notice, Asana removed the ability to see overdue tasks in your custom reports showing tasks "Due in X days". We called for your help and you delivered! Thanks to your feedback about how the changes impacted your teams, we compiled the responses and shared our thorough feedback with Asana and asked them to reverse the change. They read it, considered it, and REVERSED IT! Thank you for rallying together!
WHAT DOES IT MEAN FOR YOU
You can once again return to using your "7-day" or "X-day Task Reports" for yourselves and your teams.

⚡IDEAS: Super easy, focused to-do list via a "🔥 NAME - Today" Tag
OVERVIEW
Tags allow for extremely simple, easy focused views of tasks. One of my professional services clients uses a very simple "🔥 NAME - Today" Tag for each employee.
WHAT IT MEANS FOR YOU
Even though the "Due in X days" reports are helpful, it still doesn't provide a hyper-focused view of what you've committed to get done today. The "🔥 NAME - Today" Tag view will give you an ultra simple way to create a custom view in just seconds to help you focus on your priorities for the day.
ACTION ITEMS
See the screenshot for the 2 steps to use this custom Tag view.

💥 R&D LAB: Stress relief feature enhancement
OVERVIEW
All who have trained with us already know about the TAB+B stress relief feature (meow). Larry Berger, the creator of Asana2Go, had a great idea to add another option to the TAB+B feature (woof). It required the Asana2Go extension, but Asana has now built in his great idea. Stressed? Take a look: TAB+V (woof).
WHAT IT MEANS FOR YOU
Laugh a little while you work. TAB+V
ACTION ITEMS
Open Asana. Then hold TAB+V.
