Has anyone tried the Motion app? My entire instagram feed is ADHD ads and that’s one that comes up a lot. I’m honestly desperate for something to work at this point bc my vyvanse isn’t doing the trick to help get past the procrastination and executive dysfunction. Not to mention big pharma screwing us sideways and making it so difficult to get much needed meds.

I use it and love it. It removes the added stress of trying to decided what to do next. I prioritize my tasks, set deadline and it decides for me. I have not struggled to meet a deadline since. Features I particularly like:

-you can set hard or soft deadlines, so if a draft is due on a particular day, it knows to not shift that work beyond that specific deadline. I use hard/soft deadlines in combo with the ability to rate tasks by priority

- tagging. I tag certain tasks as “follow up” so they don’t fall off my radar.

- calendar integration so it doesn’t schedule a work block during a meeting

- “blocked by” feature. If there is a task that I can’t start until I finish another task first it won’t schedule the second task until I mark the first one as complete

- if you have too many things if the same priority and similar deadlines it will alert you so you can review the tasks and decide whether you can shift a deadline or change task priority

- split up workspaces so I can have my work tasks populate separately from personal tasks during specified time frames (eg work hours, weekends, etc)

- Ability to set recurring tasks (eg a weekly report, etc)

- Large tasks (eg write Motion for SJ) are automatically broken down into smaller bits of time. So it automatically spreads the work over multiple days

Features that need work:

- only integrates with Microsoft and Google calendars. I got around this by integrating iCal when I used it to Gcal ans then Gcal to Motion

-annoying to set up initially

-no color coding capability although I hear they’re developing it as a feature

-the mobile app is clunky, although continually improving. It’s much better than when I first started using Motion

I think living a frugal life and aiming to retire early makes a lot of sense.
