GTD - Cleaning your inbox

See: https://help.springest.biz/article/1594-cleaning-your-asana.

How to clean inbox:

IMPORTANT: Cleaning your inbox is a task, you should complete it. 

For every item ask yourself important questions: 

• “Is it a next action? If not > make it actionable / make a project out of it / kill it or put it on your private “Someday / Maybe” tag and unassign.
• Why am I a getting this in my inbox? Do I really care? 
• Is it my role? (match accountability, fits purpose
• Is it a project? Or should it be in a project?
• How important is it?

Process items:

• Clean your inboxes (mail, AS, new tasks in AS) every day or so: do it (<2min.), defer it (Project + Tags) or delete it (respond to it immediately or make it a NA i it requires more than 2min.).
  • If you need someone else do do something for a task you own, make a subtask or @name-of-someone to ask the question in a comment if it probably takes <2min to answer.
  • If you’ve completed a task for someone: Complete the task (don’t assign it back) and comment the change/result
• Every task should be actionable 
• Every task should be linked to a project or to a project list or to a private project ( My waiting for, My GTD review)
• Only use your Today for things that must be done Today (eg. KPI updates), not for prioritizing.
• Use @project_name / @task_name as reference in comments
• Move task to upcoming if linked to active project
• Move task to project list of your accountability (see How to create a list for my role's accountabilities) and unassign
• Move task to one of your project. If project is future, then unassign the task
• IMPORTANT: Communicate the (process) change in the comment field to update other roles/followers
