Your associated Sunsama task acts like a worksheet for your Asana task. Inside your Sunsama task, you can add notes, time tracking information, subtasks, and comments without messing with your Asana task. Use your Sunsama task to track the minutia of the task that your collaborators might not care about inside of Asana.
