Select multiple tasks

This is real work, not a feature someone invented — it comes from real job ads and real questions people asked. Below are four ready AI prompts: get it done, make it easy for the next person to say yes to, work out the right move when you are stuck, and stop it coming back.

Select the three design tasks for the Q4 campaign, plus the two content review tasks from Sarah’s list, so I can assign them to the new intern.

I need to review all the tasks related to the client onboarding for Project Chimera. Show me everything that’s still open for that project, regardless of who it’s assigned to, so I can see what’s falling behind.

The client just called asking for an update on the website redesign, and I realize I've been tracking their feedback in two separate places.
The client just called asking for an update on the website redesign, and I realize I've been tracking their feedback in two separate places – one for design, one for content. I’m afraid I’ve missed something critical and look disorganized. What's the fastest way to pull all their feedback into one view so I can respond confidently, and what's my best next move to avoid this again?

I keep losing track of which tasks are truly complete versus just waiting on a final sign-off.
I keep losing track of which tasks are truly complete versus just waiting on a final sign-off, especially with external stakeholders. This always causes delays and awkward follow-ups. What habit should I change to clearly distinguish between 'done by us' and 'done done' so I stop chasing people for things that aren't actually finished?

Questions people actually ask

honest answers, no sign-up

Every task here was seen in the real world. Someone doing the job named it, a real job ad asked for it, or a lot of people asked about it online.

If nothing real showed a task, it is not on the page. That is the whole rule.

They are the same job approached four ways, because what you need depends on where you are.

Get it done today. Make it easy for the next person to say yes to. Work out the right move when you are stuck. Learn the pattern so the job stops coming back.

For most of these jobs it can carry the heavy thinking - draft it, sort it, check it, rehearse it with you.

It cannot sit in your chair, take the blame when a number is wrong, or notice what nobody wrote down. Let it do the first 80%. Keep the last 20% that is truly yours.

No. Copy any prompt and paste it into the AI you already use. No account, no score, no wall in the way.

Any of them. The prompts describe the work rather than naming a product, so they are not tied to one assistant.

That is also why they keep working when you switch.

Change it freely. Every prompt is a starting line, not a rule.

Put in your real numbers, your real names and your real deadline. The more you make it yours, the better the answer comes back.

The tasks come from real job ads, published job data and the questions people ask in public forums.

The steps come from Asana's own documentation, with practitioner sources for the traps the manual does not mention.

Push once. Ask it to sharpen the weakest part and to say what it assumed.

Most wrong answers come from a missing detail rather than a bad prompt - tell it the thing it could not know.
