Motion Reviews & Product Details

This app is fantastic for those of us with busy jobs and ADHD. I have decision paralysis often and don't know what to work on next, but motion makes it easy to decide.

I would love the ability to look at our report on past talks that I've completed

Prioritization of tasks

I am a working mother of two and a full-time student working on a psychology degree. Motion has been an invaluable resource for keeping me productive during my study times. It helps keep me motivated and on task!

One thing that I wish Motion had was the ability to set reminders or notifications on the calendar or mobile app. I get them on my desktop app, but it would be so helpful if I could get them without the desktop app being open. Also. I would love the ability to view projects in the mobile app.

Motion helps me make sense of the many assignments and responsibilities I have being a working mom and full-time student. I don't have to worry about figuring out what to do next, because Motion does it for me!

I am managing several businesses and non-profits. This means lots of differents emails, agendas, projects and tasks adding on top of each other every day. Motion has helped me organize all these different facets by combining them in a unique tool, and automate certain aspects such as planning meetings or scheduling tasks.

A monthly view of the calendar would be amazing. I also would prefer that the focus banner would stick on the screen when switching windows. The project management aspect would benefit from better visualisation tools, such as Gantt charts.

Motion allowed me to regroup all my activities into one unique tool. I ditched Todoist m, Google Agenda and use solely Motion for my planning. I still use Notion for the project managing, though. But Motion has saved me countless hours in scheduling meetings, remembering tasks and meeting deadlines. Recent updates have given us brilliant functionalities such as the travel time.

I love the way motion is architected. The intelligent way of how it manages my tasks in my calendar is amazing. I also like the fact that I can connect to my private calendar, and it blocks of time on my business calendar. The scheduler is one of the best I've seen, I can set it up in a way so it checks also my colleagues calendars for free slots.

The mobile app needs some work, and I wish it would have an off-line function. Most of the development effort obviously goes into the Web app, which is fine for 95% of my use cases.

Managing tasks on my calendar

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 is extremely helpful with prioritizing. It naturally figures out based on timing and urgency what you should be working on. As life goes on and more things to do come up, I've found Motion really helpful with keeping my schedule organized, under control, and making me feel like I have the time to get everything I need done.

Motion also thinks you're a robot that will constantly keep doing work. All you need to do is build in some breaks in your schedule where the program won't add tasks, otherwise it makes you feel like you have to nonstop work!

When you have a "To-Do" list, it can be overwhelming looking at it and thinking that you just want everything done RIGHT NOW. Motion helps organize the things you want to do in a controlled manner over time - helping you realistically achieve your goals. I've found Motion really helpful with organizing the chaos that is inbound requests and projects.

When you have a to-do list that never shrinks, it can be overwhelming. Motion is the only answer I've found to help with that. It schedules all of your tasks for you, and if you don't complete a task, it just schedules it for another time. You can recurring tasks and order tasks by priority.

Some features I'd like to see in Motion are the ability to adjust the priority of items so that if two things are both due soon and high priority, you can pick which one Motion should prioritize. Also, the mobile app is nearly unusable. I'd like for it to be on par with the website itself.

The overwhelming nature of having endless to-do lists. The need to take care of the most important things, even if they're not particularly urgent. The ability to meet deadlines.

Very intelligent lile an AI. It structures slots based on your tasks, deadlines and importance. If something is not complete it will automatically reschedule. Very helpful for those who have adhoc things come up. The jobs where you could be needed randomly at any time.

The Portal is quite dull and not well interactive on the phone. If it could be more to live and light. Also if the scheduleder had a mode to appear on my echo and tablet as my next task list...with motivational quotes and timers. Etc I can show more on this and think many would love this feature.

Saving time and becoming more effective and effecient. I leave work happier and feel like I have been more productive than usual. I enjoy using the portal as a result.

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

Prioritization and time-boxing for focus. Since using Motion, I do not forget stuff any more, I do the right things at the right time and I am better able to separate of what's important at the very moment.

Sometimes the desktop ab is still a bit buggy that that's improving on da daily basis. If a company is as innovative as Motion, you have obstacles here and there.

Focussing on doing the right things at the right time, without using much headspace of me to think about how I need to structure and prioritize my day. It's the perfect PA in that sense!
