088: Why I Moved from Asana to Notion for Task and Project Management

If you’ve been in business for more than a few years, you’re probably well-versed in the perils of switching costs and shiny object syndrome when it comes to trying new software, especially if there’s a high learning curve.  Today I’m sharing more context on a conversation I’ve been having repeatedly behind-the-scenes with people who are curious about switching to Notion for their business operations, but a little hesitant to make the time and energy investment. I share three reasons I am grateful to have made the switch: functionality, simplification, and customization. 📝 Permission: To reinvest time and energy into new software—even if what you have is working fine—especially when you know what’s possible on the other side. ✅ Do (or Delegate) This Next: Sign up for Notion’s free personal account and “geek out” on this fun and powerful software.   📘 Books Mentioned: Free Time: Lose The Busywork, Love Your Business, Pivot: The Only Move That Matters Is Your Next One 🔗 Resources Mentioned:  Tools: Kajabi, Notion, Trello, Asana, Zapier Free Time Resources: Free Time Toolkit, BFF Community, Operations Dashboard Related Podcast Episodes:  034: Organizing Research and Ideas—Notion Walkthrough #1  036: Shaping Big Ideas—Notion Walkthrough #2 038: Organizing Research and Ideas—Notion Walkthrough #3 Pivot 197: Should You Start a Podcast?
