Can Asana integrate with Google Calendar?

Until recently, there wasn’t an easy way to move your tasks from Asana to your Google Calendar. But Asana recently announced their new integration with Google Calendar via Clockwise.

This integration makes it faster and easier than ever to time block your calendar. Just estimate how long the task will take and choose when you want to complete it, and Clockwise will automatically add the task to your calendar.

Why you should sync your calendar with your task manager

This integration automates a popular time management technique called “time blocking.” Elon Musk, Bill Gates, and Cal Newport all use time blocking to get more done faster. With time blocking, you choose when you’re going to work on a task in advance and schedule that time on your calendar. 

Research shows time blocking helps workers:

• Prioritize your highest-leverage tasks
• Spend the right amount time on your tasks
• Estimate your work capacity more easily and accurately
  

If you struggle with neglecting your highest priority tasks, spending too much time on less-important tasks, and wondering what to work on next, time blocking can help. And if you want the fastest, easiest way to time block your Google Calendar, read on for step-by-step instructions. It’s super easy.
