It’s springtime and one of the favorite phrases we hear from folks eager to improve their lives is ‘Spring Cleaning!’. It doesn’t necessarily have to be just about scrubbing your floors and cleaning your closets, however. By keeping track of your important projects and tasks in Asana, and carrying out a bit of tidying up every now and then can have a huge impact on your work efficiency and performance.

Archive Projects

Asana gives users the ability to have as many projects as they want and to store information for an indefinite period of time. But to keep your dashboard from turning into a cluttered mess, it is advisable to archive the old project to make thing neater on the sidebar. By archiving old projects, you’ll be removing it from the search results and projects list, but they are still accessible for reference at any time.

All you need to do to archive a project is:

• Open the project you wish to archive
• Click the carrot icon next to the project’s name to display possible actions
• Click “Archive Project.”
