Here’s a quick way to get tasks into Asana using LaunchBar (my preferred method) or Script Menu. (Requires a little nerdery.)

Setup:

1. Install the Asana Command-Line Client and set it up
2. Download this AppleScript wrapper and update the config properties
3. Put the script somewhere you can access it (e.g. via LaunchBar, Alfred, Script Menu, etc)

Usage (LaunchBar):

1. Invoke LaunchBar, type your shortcut to the script and tap space
   • Enter your task title

Usage (generic):

1. Invoke the script
   • Enter your task title in the dialog box

Notes:

• New tasks will appear as private tasks at the top of your “My Tasks” list.
• If you’re an Alfred user, Mannie Schumpert’s QuickTask workflow is probably better.
