I'm inspired to try using Asana. Would be interested to know more about your setup.

For my individual account, I don't do anything too fancy—just keep track of tasks and organize them by "projects" (in most cases these aren't truly projects but category labels like "Travel", "Finance", etc.) I do think the Parking Lot project works well as a place to stash things you're not sure about.

For the enterprise version, there are bigger buckets of organization like Portfolios and Goals. I'm getting more familiar with those at work; my sense is that they're more useful for coordinating behavior between multiple people over longer time frames.

That said, as someone who used to rely heavily on paper to-do lists, I think the biggest value add really comes from very simple features: the ability to effortlessly change due dates; the ability to include relevant links/files; the ability to make tasks recurring.
