Stage 03

Tasks & time

Every project

What you'll do: open your task, load the project, start the timer, verify it's right.

Step 1 of 4

Open your task in Asana

Read the brief in the description and note the due date.

Save & open the project file

Drop Juan's .drp into this folder and open it — the proxies relink.

01_Project ▸ 01_Resolve

You kept the folder structure, so Resolve finds each proxy by its path automatically.

Start the timer

Click the green Start timer button on the Asana task.

First time only

First project on this machine? Pick the project in TMetric once, so time logs to the right place.

Verify task · tag · project

Check all three are right in the browser, then keep TMetric + Asana open as you work.

Wrong task·tag·project means time logged in the wrong place. Don't trust the timer blindly.

✓ Stage done

Your task is set up and the clock is running
