76 Shares We’ve profiled Asana on Lifehack before (it’s my task manager of choice and I have given it the “30 Days With…” treatment), and its versatility and ubiquity is one of its strengths. So was the barrier to entry in terms of price point, because for teams of 30 or less individuals it is free.

I’ve always loved reading but the thought of holding a book was a barrier to entry for some reason. Then when I would delve into a book I would always lose my place in the book constantly. I’m not sure why the act of reading a physical book was a challenge to me but it was. When Amazon released the Kindle I was very much uninterested at first. Why would I want a device that does one thing? The iPhone does almost everything I need it to do — and then some. Working at a... More »
