I Had No Idea I Was Secretly PERFECTING Asana Efficiency!
So I was in the middle of updating an old launch task in Asana when I realized⦠I had already duplicated this exact process at least five times.
Different projects, slightly tweaked timelines, a few changed subtasksābut structurally? The same.
And no one noticed.
Actually, scratch thatāthey noticed. But in a good way. Like, āThis was so helpful, I knew exactly what to do,ā kind of way.
And I thought, huh. Maybe itās time I talk about this.
How I reuse the structure of everything in my businessāwithout it ever feeling like a copy-paste operation.
Either keep reading or watch the video below:
If youāve ever opened your project management tool and felt that weird combo of dread + dĆ©jĆ vu, like ādidnāt I already build this whole process once before?ā... I see you.
And I think you might love this setup as much as my nervous system does.
Why I Systemize (Not Just Repurpose)
Letās get this out of the way first: I donāt build systems because I love spreadsheets or want to automate my entire life.
I build systems because I hate wasting brain energy trying to remember how I did something last time.
Thereās this pressure in the online space to always be creating something ānew.ā A new launch. A new content strategy. A new workflow every time your offer shifts even a little.
But hereās what Iāve learned: most of the time, you donāt need something new.
You need something repeatable.
With just enough flexibility to adapt, and just enough clarity that you never wonder, āWait⦠whatās step two again?ā
Thatās what I do in Asana.
I donāt just track projectsāI create frameworks that can be reused, adapted, and handed off⦠without the whole team needing a 2-hour onboarding call.
4 Things I Systemize and Reuse in Asana (That Make Everything Smoother)
Here are 4 Things I Systemize and Reuse in Asana (That Make Everything Smoother)
š 1. Launch Frameworks
Every time I build a launch plan, I treat it like a kit.
Emails, asset creation, timeline, internal reviewsāitās all templated.
Not in a rigid, robotic way. But in a āwhy reinvent the wheel when you already built a pretty good oneā way.
Instead of starting from scratch, I duplicate the project, adjust the due dates with the timeline feature, and tweak the tasks as needed.
The result? Faster launches, fewer missed steps, and a process that can be handed off without needing my brain to stay glued to it.
š” Pro tip: In paid Asana plans, you can even set relative due dates so when you use the template, your tasks are automatically assigned in the order they need to be completed to make sure everything stays on schedule!
And without you needing to remember when everything needs to be done. It's a huge time-saver!
š 2. SOP Libraries That Live Inside Asana
This is one of my favorite shifts I made: Instead of housing SOPs in a Google Doc graveyard, I now keep them directly inside Asana tasks.
That way, when someoneās about to do the thing? The steps are right thereāno extra tab, no hunting through folders.
⨠Example: My āHow to set up a new product in Thrivecartā SOP doesnāt just live in theory.
It lives in a task, with relevant links, a video, and all relevant information.
Reusable every time I launch something new.
Over time, these tasks become more than checklistsāthey become operational anchors. And theyāre so much easier to maintain when theyāre part of your actual workflow.
šØ 3. Evergreen Email Assets Inside Projects
Okay, I donāt claim to be a marketing genius. Iām not the one analyzing open rates or testing subject line formulas.
But what I am good at is organizing evergreen content in a way that makes it easy to reuse.
I keep my best-performing emails tagged and housed inside Asana, linked to the relevant product or offer.
That way, when I need to update a nurture sequence or schedule a soft promo, I already have a bank of messages that are written, formatted, and ready to go.
If you want to see how I actually set this upāthe exact systems I use in Asana to organize and reuse content, emails, checklists, and offers without the chaosāI made a course that walks you through it all.
Itās called Content on Repeat, and itās my favourite kind of resource: not a strategy course, just a clear step-by-step breakdown of how to build your own content and repurposing system using paid features in Asana.
This has been highly requested to see how I use the paid features to organize my content systems in Asana, and I'm so happy to hand over all my secrets in this course!
No pressure to grab it. But if your brain is craving structure and simplicity? This might be a great fit for you.
š¬ 4. Client Questions as Content Seeds (Captured in Asana)
Instead of scrambling for new content ideas, I use real conversationsāclient questions, DM threads, Voxer ramblesāand pop them straight into my Asana content project.
Each one is tagged by topic, with a quick note on where it came from or bullet points to remember what the content is actually about.
Some become email topics. Others turn into YouTube videos, FAQs, or even offers.
This isnāt about āstrategic repurposingā or optimizing for engagement. Itās about noticing the questions that come up again and againāand giving them a home.
Why Itās Not āCheatingā to Reuse Your Systems
A lot of people worry that using the same setup or task list feels like⦠uninspired or boring.
But honestly? Systems donāt make you robotic. They make you reliable.
They let you focus on the part that actually needs your attentionāwithout getting lost in logistics every single time.
⨠Think of it like this:
You donāt want your brain to spend energy on āwhereās that link again?ā
You want it focused on how this offer serves someone differently than the last one.
Consistency in the backend creates clarity on the frontend.
And repetition? Thatās not cheating. Thatās how you get known for something.
How to Start (Even If You Feel All Over the Place Right Now)
Letās say your Asana is chaos. Youāve got old projects with no due dates, floating tasks with no context, and everything lives under āLater.ā
Iāve been there.
⨠Hereās a gentle way to begin:
Duplicate one project youāve used before (even if itās messy).
Rename it, clean it up just enough, and save it as a template.
Thatās it.
You donāt need 27 dashboards or color-coded workflows right now.
You just need one system that saves you from starting over next time.
Even if itās imperfect.
The win is having something to repeatāso your brain doesnāt have to rebuild it every time.
So thatās my approach.
Just systems that let me reuse what worksāwithout the burnout.
If youāve been waiting for permission to simplify? Consider this it.
And if you want the whole system, with templates and examples?
Content on Repeat is waiting for you.
No hype. No pressure. Just structure, clarity, and a calmer way to work.
