What is Motion?
Motion takes your tasks, deadlines, meetings and priorities and automatically builds a realistic daily plan, rebuilding it whenever something slips. Instead of deciding what to do next, you open the calendar and it is already decided.
Pros: what Motion does well
- Removes daily planning decisions
- Reschedules automatically when the day changes
- Tasks and meetings in one view
Cons: where it falls short
- Pricey for individuals
- Needs honest time estimates to work well
Who Motion is for
Busy people who lose time deciding what to work on next.
Who can skip it
Anyone who prefers full manual control over their calendar.
