Asana Setup

Hey everyone,

I'm sure that this has been covered before, but I couldn't find anything doing a quick search. I recently switched over to Asana from Things 3 and I after reviewing the setup guide, I think I came a cross a better way to implement GTD than what's expressed in the guide. Simply, in the "My Tasks" view, I created "Sections" for each context. There are no "Projects" or "Tags," simply sections with my Next Actions listed in each. Then, I simply have one folder called "Projects" where my Project List lives, with each project listed as a "task." I then can create sub-tasks (if needed) that are assigned to me, that link back to the "My Tasks" view and show up in the proper context.

I wanted to see if there were any experienced Asana users out there who would be willing to audit my setup (based on the above) and see if there were any holes in it? I'm happy to share screen shots if that would help. Thanks in advance!
