Turn your to-do list into a DONE list
The Lifehack Method way of mastering a task management system. So that you can hit your goals on time, every time.
Dear I-just-need-a-few-more-hours-in-the-day-to-get-everything-done "productivity hacker,"
I see you writing to-do lists longer than your arm.
And I know your struggle.
I've helped thousands of clients and fellow productivity hackers upgrade their to-do lists and the most common things I hear before their transformation are:
- "I'm just not an organized person. There must be something wrong with me."
- "My current way of using to-do lists – sticky post-it notes and bullet journals – is just. Not. Working."
- "I'm constantly dropping balls, missing deadlines, appointments and special events – even though I'm writing them all down."
- "I'm spending more time on email threads with my team than on my actual tasks!"
- "I've got a million to-do lists on paper AND digitally...but I'm not actually taking action on any of the things I want to do."
Here's what I tell them every. single. time:
Nobody is born organized and productive.
Unless you have your task management system dialed in, you can't be as productive as you want to be.
If you want to consistently slay your to-do list, reach your goals and have time to enjoy what you love, your to-do list needs an upgrade.
And I'm here to help you do that.
But first... let me reveal 3 unsexy truths about task management tools nobody likes to talk about:
Downloading a task management tool is not the silver bullet that boosts productivity.
Unless you know how to list and prioritize tasks in a way that encourages action, you'll struggle to hit your goals.
They come with dozens of features and integrations that appeals to every kind of user with every kind of need.
Unless you know exactly what you need – and what you don't – all the fancy bells and whistles can overwhelm and prevent you from using it at all.
It takes time to learn, experiment with, and master a task management app before you see results.
Unless you use a tried and tested method you can plug into your workflow right away.
Instead, what if you could...
Skip the huge learning curve (i.e. years of testing and tweaking) and have a Certified Asana Pro walk you through everything you need to do to set up your task management system...
So you can finally...
Get ALL your to-dos in ONE place using a system that keeps overwhelm and analysis paralysis at bay
Prioritize and re-prioritize tasks instantly and get the most important things done – even when life happens
Remember every single task, event and idea, especially the small (but important) ones that usually slip through the cracks
Start delegating and scale your growth and get tedious (but important) tasks off your plate easily and effectively.
Get larger, more complex projects done on time with a system that removes all the chatter /emailing / chasing up team members about timelines, helping you focus on completing your tasks on time
My Fridays are a 52-minute workday!
Asana was another app I was avoiding until I saw Carey and Demir show me how they use their Asana in a coaching call. If productivity coaches were using it, I knew there had to be a good reason why!
I’d been using Trello to run two companies but I kept missing deadlines and appointments.
I needed something more robust so I decided to switch to Asana – but I didn't have two days to search through Youtube and the Asana how-to articles on their site!
So I bought Asana Training and Tutorial, set aside an afternoon through the whole course and flipped everything I had from Trello to Asana. Now I run everything on Asana, even my Junior netball team.
Things are much more organized now. Everyone really understands what needs to happen and when. My stress levels and my cognitive load went from 120 to 30. In less than 6 weeks of implementing what I learned, my Fridays turned into a 52-minute workday (vs 5.5 hours).
Forget the money. Forget the time. When I get up in the morning, I'm much more relaxed. I don’t feel under pressure anymore. I feel on top of things. Using Asana the way Carey taught me has changed me as a person.

Hi! I'm Carey Bentley.
Co-founder of Lifehack Method, WSJ Bestselling author, Asana Certified Pro and creator of Asana Mastery.
When I'm not practicing my handstands, playing tea-party with my daughters or chilling with the other co-founder of Lifehack Method (and my hubby)...
You'll find me slaying my to-do list while managing my team remotely, serving 2,500 Lifehack Tribe community members and celebrating Champagne Moments on the regular – at home and while traveling the world.
But it wasn't always this way...
AS FEATURED IN
Back in my corporate days, I would punish myself with 80-hour weeks, thinking that would lead to success.
Every day, I'd go into work and spend 30 minutes writing out a list of 60+ tasks for me to get through by the end of the day.
As my responsibilities grew, that list soon became impossible to manage.
Tasks started slipping through the cracks
Work started to spillover into my personal life #nolife
Stress levels went through the roof
And this was happening despite me being the most productive person on the team.
The worst part? I never saw the success I wanted AND my chronic stress-related illness flared up to boot.
I had to do something if I was going to get all the important things done WHILE keeping my health (and sanity) intact. So...
...I reluctantly swapped my beloved pen-and-paper to-do list for Asana
Was I worried I wasn't going to use a task management system consistently? YES
(I was a hardcore pen-and-paper to-do lister)
Was I thinking it would take me forever to figure it out? You betcha!
(I already trained in other task management tools #complicated. Besides, where would I find the time?!)
But was I ready to say goodbye to dropping all them balls... (and picking them up on the weekend)? HECK TO THE YES!
(I had a life and I was determined to enjoy it – in good health)
So I went all-in with Asana to help me stay on track, keep projects organized, and hit deadlines.
The result? I became the zen-est, most productive person on the team who actually had time to rest and enjoy life.
And I want the same for you.
"Seriously, guys...Asana Mastery is amazing!!
After spending 45 minutes in Carey's course, my to-do list method is forever changed!"
"Love the updated course!
The Winning the Week walk-through using the Asana calendar calendar view is genius and I've been using this approach for the last couple of pre-planning sessions with great results!"
"I am so much more productive with Asana after taking your course.
I have been using it for several years but wasn't using it nearly as effectively as I am now. "
"Tempting as it is not to repeat the hyperbole -
"it's amazing" "revolutionised my life"
Actually, it has! I've only been using it 2 weeks and I've been smashing through my tasks."
Carey spoon feeds you the best practices
When I first came across the course, my first thoughts were “Okay, it looks great. But l don't have time to even sit, learn, and train other team members to do this stuff as well.”
We were in this constant all-over-the-place-mode at work. With too much work and not enough people, things started falling off the plate. We were missing opportunities to excel and I knew we had to do something to change that. That’s when I decided to take the course.
Before, our team was using the nightmare of email to manage tasks and projects. Now, with Asana, we’re getting more done.
Without the course content, I don't know if I’d feel the same way about Asana because Carey contextualizes the use of the tool and spoon feeds you best practices. It lets me use the tool, understand it and train my team.
The whole course was really thoughtfully done by Carey – there wasn't much wasted time. I loved the bite-sized videos because I'm a busy mom to a small child and don't have time to go through an overwhelming 2-hour marathon video.
I also really valued Carey saying, “You can get away with the free version.” It felt really honest and helpful.
The Lifehack Method approach to doing task- and project-related work on Asana is such a good one that I feel could apply to anyone.
P.S. The trigger list Carey included was incredible – I've never seen anything like that!

I can walk away from work at a decent hour
I signed up for Asana Mastery because I was tired of writing and rewriting my to-do list on 50 million pieces of paper.
I’ve dabbled with Asana before but as with most productivity apps and sites, it's very overwhelming. I've tried Trello a few times but it just can't keep my attention. And the learning curve is ridiculous!
Since doing the course, I’ve been able to get everything out of my head and onto Asana. I’m more productive and I can walk away from work at a decent hour.
As a wife, mother, business owner and volunteer, it’s important for me to keep it all in balance and Asana helps me do that.
I go to bed now without reeling over the day’s events and things that have to get done. And I no longer feel like I have the weight of the world on my shoulders because I’m not storing all my to-dos in my brain – they’re in Asana.
The best thing about Asana Mastery is how Carey keeps it simple, straightforward and fluff-free.
She’s going to take you by the hand and show you exactly what you need to set yourself up for success – whether you're using it on your own, with your family, or with your team.
As far as what Carey and Demir provide, I would be very shocked if I ever purchased another productivity course or used a different method.
If you want to make a dent in your goals, get the course!

Carey makes it super easy to figure it out
As an operations manager for a done-for-you copywriting boutique, I’m responsible for organizing a system that could give my boss an overview of all running projects.
We were using a mix of email, Google Docs and Facebook messenger to manage projects. And things were chaotic.
After researching a bunch of task management programs, we decided to use Asana. The Youtube videos and information online were useful but I was spending a lot of time looking at things I didn’t need.
Asana Mastery was perfect because it laid out everything I needed. The best thing about it? The videos were super short and easy to digest. I didn’t have to watch every single video – just the ones I needed for our workflow. And it’s been awesome ever since!
I also loved how Carey goes through every useful feature – and those that aren’t worth using – saving me the trouble of learning about them.
If you want to use Asana, get Asana Mastery!
Don't waste any more time looking online to figure out how you're going to use it. Carey’s course makes it super easy to figure out.

Questions people ask before they say "Sign me up!"
Not another app! This is just another thing that’s going to add work to my plate.
Demir and I don’t subscribe to the idea that every productivity app will help you stay productive.
They can often lead to distraction and information overload. So we keep our tech to the absolute minimum and only use what helps us achieve our goals.
Imagine for one moment if you used the same app Demir and I use every day to run our personal and business lives.
When you use exactly the same system you’ll be able to:
- Easily and quickly prioritize your days, weeks and months — so you know exactly what to do and when
- Eliminate useless meetings and hard-to-track email threads that keep you from getting traction on your tasks
- Capture every single job, event and idea, so you can focus on completing everything in front of you
Day in, day out…how much nearer would you be to your goals? How much time would you free up for the things you really want to do? How amazing would you feel?
I know how valuable your time is. Time ≠ money.
Your time is worth more than money because you can never make more of it.
That’s why I’ve cut the fluff and I show you the only things you need to start slaying your to-do list today.
Can't I just watch free Asana tutorial videos online?
Of course you can!
Question is: how do you know which ones will be worth your time? There are over 6 million search results when you Google "free asana training"!
But Asana Mastery is for you if you'd like to skip the huge learning curve and get a method of using it that has been tried, tested and proven to improve your productivity.
The bite-side videos, checklists and templates are a distillation of everything I've learned the hard (and long way) to integrate Asana into my life and business. Now you can set up the exact system in under a day.
You get over-the-shoulder tutorials for every stage to take the guesswork out of everything. I also tell you exactly what you need (and don't) so you don't burn money on fancy bells and whistles you don't need.
PLUS you get direct access to me via the Q&A box throughout the entire program. If you've got questions and problems, I'll give you answers and solutions!

Don't waste any more time looking online to figure out how you're going to use it. Carey’s course makes it super easy to figure out."
I don’t have the bandwidth to figure out how to get my team using this too.
Great news: there’s a whole module on how to onboard & train your team in this system!
This makes your life as a manager a lot easier.
But I’m most excited for your team members, because they’ll finally get to experience a transparent workflow where they feel connected to your company’s priorities, and they know how what they’re working on is contributing to the whole.
Plus, every enrollment comes with BONUS training videos you can share with your team, colleagues and family members.
By the end of these short training videos, they'll be excited and motivated to use Asana properly - the way it was meant to be used.
I’m a manager/solopreneur/corporate employee - is this going to work for me?
It covers e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g you need to know to run an efficient operation using Asana, whatever your position.
How long is this going to take?
If you want to binge-watch the content in the program, you'll need about 5 hours. Plus a couple more to follow my super simple guidelines to set up your Asana workspace.
Don't have the time to do marathon sessions? I've got you! I hate fluff and wasting time as much as you, so I've broken the program into 6 parts and 41 bite-sized lessons that show you the only things you need to do.
The best bit? You don't need to go through every single part to get started right away. If you're only using Asana for yourself, you can skip Part 5 entirely!
Do I really need to use Asana to make this work? I'm already using Monday/To-doist/Trello...
Not at all!
If you love using your current task management tool OR if your workplace is already using another one, you can apply the exact same system of using it the way we do at Lifehack Method. That's because most task management apps have the same 3 standard views.
That being said, I go over the ideal qualities of your to-do list software that focuses on the most important features your system should have if you want to streamline your productivity.
I've enrolled in the 60-day Lifehack Bootcamp. Is this included with my Bootcamp course content?
Yes! If you're currently enrolled or have already gone through the 60-Day Lifehack Bootcamp, you get access to this program.
It's not included for Lifehack Tribe members.
Do I get lifetime access to this course?
Yes!
Plus all future bonuses and additional videos I add to the program.
When will I receive access to the course?
Once we receive your order, you will receive you access credentials via email in 10-15 minutes.
Is this yet another program that’s going to add work to my plate?
NO! Unlike apps like Slack, this is a force multiplier and a time saver. This is a tool that will allow you to do your existing work faster.
In a world full of time wasting, unnecessary “productivity” apps, I’m telling you that Asana is one that you need to know and master!
Should I master Evernote / Slack before Asana?
No, you should definitely focus on Asana before tools like Evernote or Slack.
Here's why:
Mastering the skill of getting things done comes first because it's more important to reaching your goals. This is best done using an action platform like Asana.
Evernote is designed for storing notes and information, but it's not an action platform like Asana. Slack is (yet another) communication platform, which means it's not an action platform either. These are useful tools, but if you don't currently have a task management system in place, then you should focus your energy on remedying that first before moving on to other tools.
If you've made it this far, I know you're ready to
Say goodbye to to-do listing and say hello to DOING
When it comes to getting more done, you're already doing it all.
You're reading the books
You're listening to podcasts
You're investing in programs
And yet, it still feels as though reaching the end of your to-do list is an impossibility only a lucky few can achieve.
But here's the thing – I used to be an overwhelmed, overworked and burned out human who thought the very same thing.
And if I can slay my to-do list, anyone can.
Let me give you a shortcut that will guide you through a system that will help you slay yours.
Not just to amplify your productivity.
But to give you more time to finally do the things you love.
Get more productive as quickly as possible
Before Asana, I was making my own to-do lists on Evernote. My biggest struggles were prioritizing and estimating what I could get done within a reasonable time frame. I was constantly feeling awful at the end of the day because I wasn’t hitting my goals.
Since going through Asana Mastery, I feel like everything I got from being in Tribe got taken up an extra level. I can prioritize my tasks and I’m more focused. Because I feel more in control of my world, I’m not as anxious. More importantly, I can actually clock off from work and have fun!
Sure, you could watch free Asana tutorials online and learn how to do the basics. But you’d be missing Carey’s Lifehack Method integration and her personal hacks to up-level your life. Skip the learning curve, do the course!
Carey walks you through everything you need to know to help you get more productive as quickly as possible. The course is extremely thorough but it’s also very simple and easy to follow.
If you’re on the fence about doing yet another course, I’d say jump off it! You’ve got nothing to lose with Asana Mastery.
You’ll walk away feeling equipped and ready to implement Asana in your life straight away.
