Hello there, fellow achievers! If you’re anything like me, you know the struggle of juggling countless tasks, meetings, and deadlines while chasing success. But fear not, because I’ve stumbled upon a game-changing solution that has revolutionized my approach to managing my to-do list – it’s called Motion.
Let’s add some drama to it: “The To–Do List Is Dead!”.
Why am I so excited to write about this?
Currently, I’m part of a startup/scale-up venture, where the myriad of activities and responsibilities can be challenging. This tool, Motion, has been a remarkable aid in keeping everything on track. I’m not constantly thinking about all the sh*t I need to get done. Seeing the notification “all tasks scheduled on-time” has brought me so much piece of mind! Not only this tool brought me piece of mind (priceless), it saved me a huge amount of time as well!
In this post, I’ll give you a brief summary of the functionalities that made me so excited.
Auto-scheduling of tasks
You just feed Motion (I prefer using the desktop application), with all the activities you need to get done. Activities have a certain expected duration (this will sharpens your estimation skills 😉), level of importance and a given deadline.
After you add the required activities to Motion, you can see the magic of auto-scheduling taking place. You don’t have to re-arrange anything, the AI engine will do this for you. This to make sure you get your activities done, on-time.
Now you might think that my agenda becomes extremely rigid and doesn’t allow for any flexibility. Well, you couldn’t be more wrong 😎. Activities which could compromise your deadline will be marked in your agenda as “busy”. Activities which won’t compromise a given deadline will be marked as “free” and are thus very easy to be booked over for meetings or appointments.
Meeting fatigue? Skipping lunch? A thing of the past
Back-to-back meetings were the norm since C-19. Going against this was not easy for me despite numerous research studies proving its inefficiency. Again Motion helped me out and automatically blocks the remaining of my agenda in case my “maximum meeting time” has exceeded or keeps a space blocked after a given meeting.
Another bad habit of mine was to skip lunch just to meet that pressing deadline. Motion helps me now in getting my lunch in a specific time window. My lunch doesn’t have to be between 12-13. I’m perfectly fine with an hour later or sooner. Motion figures it out for me.
Would any of below times suit you?
Don’t you also hate those “FindTime” request to find a suitable timeslot between people? Before you know it, your availability might have changed, but your FindTime didn’t reflect this yet. Using a Motion “booking link” it becomes extremely easy for people to see and book available slots in your agenda. Not only yours, you can create a team booking link that will automatically map all availabilities of the people involved. Allowing the person you are trying to reach to select the most appropriate slot. This just saves me a ton of time (and frustration).
Anything else?
Yes, there is more. But I haven’t personally explored the project management features of Motion. We don’t have a burning need there as we are happy using other tools like Float & Microsoft Teams.
The downside? In all honesty, it’s price
The individual plan sits at $19 per month and the team plan starts from $12 per month. Nevertheless, the benefits far outweigh the costs, particularly for those serious about enhancing productivity and organization.
