Motion Pricing Overview

I have used many different to-do or time-planning apps and websites and always given up on them eventually, as the time spent to keep updating them outweighed their value to me. I am also very visual so lists of tasks fall a little flat. I've found Motion much more effective - the calendar view suits my visual style and the way the app automatically updates the order or tasks based on the priorities I give it is pretty amazing. If I don't get something done on a particular day, then it just moves it onward to the next day and I can see that at a glance. It basically never gets outdated unless I fail to enter new tasks or to check 'complete' on old ones, but that's all I have to do to keep it relevant.

I haven't hit any real downsides - there are a few features I would like to see: some interface tweaks to make it a little more efficient here and there would be good. I would also like to see them add "overtime" time periods that would only get used if a hard deadline task was behind to capture those times when you can work on the weekend for example but only to catch up on something that's behind schedule, not regular tasks not yet due.

Efficient time and task management

Motion is most helpful in arranging tasks and meetings automatically. Instead of trying to "fit" everything in, it automatically moves to fit tasks and meetings. Game Changer.

Sometimes the interface is difficult to link and can be finicky. Once I have it set up, it works seamlessly. Overall, really no big issues and the online library is quite helpful.

The constant push-pull I have trying to figure out how to fit in tasks and appointments. It is like having an assistant for a fraction of the cost. Amazing concept and execution.

Motion's ability to integrate calendars and tasks makes it an all-in-one solution for the workplace. The shortcuts and desktop app mean it easily becomes an integral part of your routine.

The product is still relatively young and could improve on some key features (like integrating iCloud calendars, having a project-filtered Kanban view etc.). Also, the pricing is relatively high (but worth it).

Integrating calendar and to-do lists, which makes it convenient to plan days/weeks of work; having a flexible meeting scheduler with a lot of customization options

Motion combines meeting scheduling with a good reminder system for tasks that are otherwise forgotten forever

It rapidly loses its value if you as a user are not actively following the planned schedule and instead do things in accordance to your whim. But it can still provide value even in this case as Motion will remind you

It allows me to be a bit more personal and send meeting booking links with different layers of priority baked into the booking itself. The biggest thing is that it allows me to add tasks with one simple keyboard command in a way that autoschedules it and makes sure that it keeps reappearing in my calendar until it is done. I also like how they keep on improving and small things like being able to add multiple time zones.

The auto-scheduling is my favorite feature. After I carefully tend my tasks, I go to my calendar to see what I should do next, and Motion tells me. Not much thought is required on what to do to achieve my large and small goals together. Requires less thought to get more done.

It's pricey. Even with the annual subscription, which I have, I feel that the cost is high compared to its competitors who don't have the auto-scheduling feature.

Motion is helping me solve the problem of when to do the tasks in my to-do list. Lots of project management tools can help me catpure what to do, but this is the only one that suggests when I should do them. With the way that Motion connects to my work calendar, I can see if I have too many tasks this week, or if I actually have spare time at the end of the week if I work hard enough. Helping me understand if I have not-enough-time or a little extra time is a valuable insight.

Motion helps me keep my day (and life) significantly more organized - and when a curveball is thrown my way, Motion allows me to adapt my time without losing a beat.

The cost is a bit higher than I would prefer; however, it hard to complain with the time that I save.

Motion allows me to better schedule my day, especially with the numerous conflicting tasks (and varied priorities/deadlines) that are constantly changing as my day changes around me.
