A whole new world #Asana
Now that you have decided to make the leap and go all in with Asana, there is a whole new world that has been opened up to you. It’s a world where people with the ability to be productive and who actually DO things can achieve GREAT things.
I have compiled a list of methods/philosophies/movements you might be interested in and which I use on a regular basis.
The 4-Hour Workweek is a movement started by Tim Ferriss. His idea and all the methodology that comes with it is based on the fact that most people don’t like their jobs, and that they should find a way to make money with no effort, so as to free up time and do things they love. He gives details about how to start a business that runs itself thanks to automation and delegation, such as through the use of virtual assistants.
Minimalism is a philosophy based on the fact that we are buried under too much “stuff”, whether it is clothes, books, or furniture. The idea is to get rid of everything that is not strictly useful and does not provide you with joy.
GTD , short for Getting Things Done, is a method created by David Allen. It is based on the idea of moving planned tasks and projects out of the mind by recording them externally and then breaking them into actionable work items. This allows one to focus on taking action to complete tasks, instead of recalling them from memory. (source: Wikipedia)
Indie Hackers refers to a community of entrepreneurs who are looking to make money independently instead of from an employer. As its official definition says, Indie hackers are often solo founders, software engineers, and bootstrappers. Now that you are a master organizer, maybe building your own company or at least a side project of your own might be a good idea!
Lean Startup is a movement that is transforming how new products are built and launched. The idea of the Lean Startup is constructed on something called the feedback loop: Build — Measure — Learn. You start a project by building a simple version known as the Minimum Viable Product (MVP), measuring useful metrics, and learning from them. Then, you improve the product based on your findings and reiterate the process.
Side Hustle is basically an entire book about how to start a side project. Acting as a mix of The 4-Hour Workweek, Lean Startup and Indie Hacker, it is well written and filled with inspiring examples of successful side projects. These examples alone constitute a good reason to read the book.
Why am I talking about all this? Because I know you can accomplish great things. And now that you have the tools to do it, you only need to take action and go with your gut.
