Asana vs Toodledo

Asana has fantastic mechanisms for dealing with team collaboration. Not only can tasks be assigned to team members, but Asana lets users follow tasks and use hyperlinks to refer to team members within a task.

The Asana task workflow within a project is broken down into "Today," "Upcoming," and "Later." The tasks themselves have the status of either done or not done. There is also a subtask feature to group tasks together. Tasks can be assigned to other team members and are stored in the "Inbox" view for processing. This replaces email for some team communication.

Teams can have private (only visible to project members) and public (visible to anyone in the team) projects. Each member can also have their own personal projects.

Tasks can be viewed in list and calendar views. It's possible to display only the tasks assigned to the user or tasks organized by project or team. Single tasks can exist in multiple projects. Lists of tasks can be divided into sections and organized in many different ways – tasks that still have to be done, tasks that have been completed, by due date, by assignee, by popularity, etc.

Expanding a task will allow adding things like subtasks, tags, and attachments, as well as comments. Users can also subscribe to a task via RSS from this view. There's a separate view specifically for attachments.

Search lets you find what you’re looking for quickly.

The tagging system enables project managers to easily filter tasks.

There are many videos, tutorials, and reference documents to help you get up and running.

Asana provides a list view and a Kanban view which can be selected if a new project is created.

Keyboard shortcuts all involve the Tab key, so it is unlikely that they will interfere with shortcuts that have already been established.

It's possible to have tasks appear in a Slack channel.

It's possible to create a to-do item by sending or forwarding an email.

The GTD principles are very perfectly supported by Toodledo.

Integrated sharing, note taking, habit tracking, and outlining make this a more powerful tool than a simple list of to-dos.

Quickly upload an excel (CSV) file template of tasks to a folder for complex but repeating projects.

If you adopt Toodledo as your productivity system, you can be confident that you can extend it to fit your needs with this programmatic access.

Notes area that can then be hidden.

Toodledo reminds you via email of the tasks on your plate for the day.

Integrated support for Apple Watch lets you check on your to-dos on the run.
