How I Use Asana to Organize My Professional Development (and Actually Finish the Courses I Buy)
When I received my Asana Workflow Specialist Certification 🎉, I was reminded—yet again—why I built a central education hub inside Asana for all my professional development.
As small business owners, we invest a lot in learning.
Courses. Books. Memberships. Coaching programs. Workshops.
And while learning is amazing… it also means there’s a lot to keep track of.
Notes on what you’re learning
Links and login information
Schedules to stay consistent
Worksheets, certificates, and downloads
And all those random resources you swear you’ll come back to
Sound familiar?
I used to have bits and pieces of learning scattered everywhere—Google Docs, browser bookmarks, email folders, screenshots on my phone. It was overwhelming and honestly, a waste of the time and money I was investing.
That’s why I created my Education Hub in Asana—a centralized project dedicated to every course, training, or resource I’ve invested in for my growth.
How My Asana Education Hub Works
Inside my hub, every course or resource gets its own task. From there, I can:
✅ Add due dates to keep myself on track with lessons or modules
✅ Store login links and credentials right inside the task (no more searching through emails)
✅ Take notes and attach files like workbooks, slides, or screenshots
✅ Add subtasks for each module or lesson to easily track progress
✅ Upload certificates once I complete a course for future reference
It’s simple, but it’s powerful.
And best of all—it keeps me accountable. I actually finish the courses I invest in, instead of letting them sit in my inbox collecting digital dust.
Why This System Has Been a Game-Changer
Having a dedicated space for professional development inside Asana has completely changed the way I approach learning.
No more mental clutter. No more losing track of what I’ve already learned or where I left off. Everything lives in one organized, easy-to-access spot.
When I open Asana, I can see at a glance:
What I’m currently learning
What’s coming up next
And what I’ve completed so far
It’s like having a digital bookshelf for my brain—except this one actually keeps me moving forward.
TL;DR:
If you’re constantly buying courses or signing up for trainings and struggling to keep up (or even remember what you bought), create a central Education Hub in Asana.
It’s where you can track progress, store notes and logins, set due dates, and actually finish the things you start. It’s one of those small systems that make a huge difference in how you manage your growth as a business owner.
