Context switching and app switching can be major productivity killers. It's easy to get derailed when we have to stop what we're doing and switch to a completely different task. However, there are times when we encounter things that we want to remind ourselves to do later. This can be especially challenging when we're in the middle of something else and don't want to lose our momentum.

This automation converts the selected text into a task, and creates a task in Asana with the content.
