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
Wow this sounds amazing. I need to look into it, it sounds like it would change my life
