How To Use Asana For GTD – Zapier
Long-time readers will know that Getting Things Done (GTD) really kickstarted my productivity habits 14 years ago.

If you’re interested in learning GTD but want to use it in a more “technical” setting then Zapier breaks down how you can use Asana for GTD – and I would think you could apply this theory to Trello as well.
