How to Track Projects with G Suite and Asana

June 20, 2017 By TD

asana g-suite integration video

I really should read Google’s blog more as they have some nice articles. Although I use G-Suite, I don’t use Asana for task or project management. However, I know this service is widely popular so I suspect there are folks that can benefit from this integration. The article also includes a 3-minute video that shows integration examples.

Businesses are using Asana and G Suite to collaborate and manage projects from start to finish. Asana is a project management tool that helps teams plan, manage and track work, and is a part of the Recommended for G Suite program. With these two tools, your organization can:

  • Create tasks in Asana directly from Gmail
  • Add files directly from Google Drive to tasks in Asana
  • Keep track of deadlines by syncing your tasks in Asana with Google Calendar
  • Build custom reports in Google Sheets to analyze project data in Asana

Part of this is because of other time commitments, priorities and partly the inertia of doing the longer story. To get back into the swing and get my “writing muscle” going again, I thought I would try referencing good content I see from around the web that would benefit you. While I might not be able to write as often, there’s a lot of good content out there. There are three tools I’ll use for this content curation process you might consider for everyday use.

No Tears EU Cookie Banners

August 7, 2015 By TD

example of EU cookie banner

I don’t want to debate the issue of the EU’s cookie law, especially for webmasters outside the area. The bottom line is that some 3rd party services, like Google AdSense, want you to comply. The good news is there are many solutions. One of these is also a great example of how one company took a growing problem and created a free and useful tool that builds loyalty. The product is called Cookie Consent by Silktide.

Mass Mobile Madness

January 22, 2015 By TD

Google mobile friendly test

This week, I got one of those warning messages from Google Webmaster Tools for one of my domains. These emails are a great service, but they can also raise your blood pressure. The gist of the warning was one of my websites wasn’t mobile-friendly. My heart sank as I read the details and saw the words “critical” and “rankings” in the same paragraph.

There are a lot of things I enjoy, but one that tends to make me smile is when I get to play with other people’s money. This is especially true if the donor is Google.

Ghostery Reveals More than the Invisible Web

March 6, 2013 By TD

Like many of you, I have many roles when it comes to websites. I worry about privacy and performance. Another part of me likes to see what other sites are doing. For example, what services are other websites using? It’s not often that you find a free browser tool that covers privacy and competitive intelligence.
