Motion Reviews: 4.3/5 — Solid Choice

Motion is great at helping create a tasklist which is scheduled in my calendar straight away. The process is great as it encourages prioritisation, and prevents overcommitting and not delivering. Also really like Motion now distinguishes between work hours and night hours so I can choose when to schedule something.

I don't like the black calendar background. It would be great if we could have the option for a white background.

Motion solves the problem of overcommitment and forgetting to do a task. Tasks do not drop off the list unless they are deliberately marked as complete.

Before Motion, I had to manually reschedule my week at least twice per day, due to random meetings popping up in my calendar. Now I just use that time for work, because Motion deals with the rescheduling, and tells me if something has to be reprioritised.

I would prefer the task titles to be visible on my Google Calendar, and sometimes I have to log in for no apparent reason, which gets annoying. I also do not particularly like the Android app, as it at times refuses to let me add new tasks.

It is basically making sure my work schedule is correctly prioritised and scheduled, and reschedules any task if a meeting drops into my calendar, which is amazing.

Easy to 'brain dump' and get all of my quick to-dos in. Also helps minimize my worry about forgetting long term ideas that I have. I can put them in and circle back to them when they pop up.

I'd like to be able to create a maximum duration for work chunks for projects. For example, if I have a 40 hour task for a bigger project, where it indicates a minimum work block time (breaking in to less time) I'd like to be able to put a max time, rather than having to manually break the steps down even further.

Prioritization. Recall of long-term goals. Re-allocation of time, related to scheduling. Able to automate recurring tasks simply. Leading to less worry about forgetting or mismanaging resources.

I really enjoy the feature of setting a total time for my task and then having the AI set up my calendar schedule. It really helps me visualize how I can get all these work done before the deadline. And the auto-scheduling feature is also super helpful.

After I put in many tasks, the entire thing starts to become less tractable. It will be nice if I can search in kanban or my list of tasks. It is often hard for me to find things. I also hope the notification banner can have a "completed" button so I don't have to go into the Motion app to toggle my task completed. I would like to know some tricks about how to integrate Motion with other apps to help solve problems better.

Motion really helped me grasp how much time I have and how much time I need to spend on my tasks. I tend to over-commit myself thinking I have a lot of time. But Motion really visualizes if my goals are feasible.

The way it helps me prioritize and organize my tasks and calendar. Besides, it also helps the people I work with schedule meetings in my calendar and those of my colleagues

The only thing that I dislike is that you have to use it. Sometimes you fall back in your old habits and loose structure in your tasks. Thats when you need to go make sure to use Motion.

With Motion, teams can collaborate on projects in real-time, set deadlines, assign tasks, and track progress. This leads to better communication and productivity, ultimately resulting in faster completion of projects.

Project and task organisation that then adds in to you mr calendar. Also the setting and scheduling of meetings via appointments.

Not too much right now. Sometimes feels a bit slow. Other than that all good

Organisation and blocking various projects across various clients

As a freelancer, I'm constantly juggling deadlines. Being able to put my tasks into Motion and not have to think about when something is du is life changing

I wish I could see my schedule out at least a month in advance. I also wish it would integrate with iCal.

Prioritizing tasks and keeping with deadlines. Also by putting in how long a task takes me, I can have a better idea of how much I can do in a single day.

What I appreciate most about Motion is the combination of its user-friendly interface and its extensive feature set. This software truly streamlines my daily tasks and significantly enhances my overall workflow. The user-friendly interface provides an intuitive and straightforward experience. Navigating through the calendar, scheduling events, and managing appointments has never been easier. Motion's thoughtful design and layout make it a breeze to access the information I need promptly, reducing any unnecessary time spent on administrative tasks. Moreover, Motion's robust feature set is a game-changer for me. It offers a wide range of tools that cater to various aspects of my calendar management. From scheduling recurring meetings to color-coding events for better organization, Motion covers all the bases. The ability to attach files, set reminders, and share calendars seamlessly with colleagues adds an extra layer of functionality that I find invaluable. In sum, Motion not only simplifies my work but also adds an element of enjoyment to my daily routine. Its user-friendly design and comprehensive features have transformed the way I manage my schedule, making it an essential tool for my professional life.

When it comes to Motion Calendar, what I find less favorable is the limited customization options for event reminders. It would be great to have more flexibility in setting up reminders according to my specific needs.

Motion goes above and beyond in transforming my daily routine by making it significantly more productive and proactive, ultimately leading to enhanced efficiency and effectiveness in managing my schedule and tasks.

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.
