As I opened Instagram one day I stumbled across this ad with a very blunt statement: To-do lists are dead, it said. You no longer have to manually plan your day with a to-do list and your calendar because this new app called motion was able to plan your day with artificial intelligence.
They also stated that the app would help me get 25% more done. Let me tell you - I was intrigued.

I spent a good 3 days fiddling with this app myself and had pretty much the same experience - it took more work to teach the app how to do things, than to actually use it. And it was SO expensive for what that was (Definitely more than $20 a month). It was so incredibly unpredictable that it was more overwhelming than taking half the time to implement a GTD system.

I used to be so stubborn about only writing my to do lists and plans on paper but I’ve recently been trying to get out of that to be more efficient and it’s made a world of a difference 💜

You can create dependencies between related tasks in a project. Theyre called BLOCKERS in Motion. As long as tasks are within the same project, they can be halted and ordered according the sequential order they must be done in.

@upercutsss Ай бұрын
You can only have one blocker per task. Sometimes you need to accomplish 2 or more in order to advance in a project.

For the tasks that you want to do in order you can create blocking(dependencies) Block Turn in report to not show up on your calendar until after you have written the report and like wise brainstormed for the report.

So I cannot speak for the timeline that you made this vid, however It does seem like they have revisited almost all of the points you have mentioned. I am using it now and I am very happy with it. That being said, I am no longer paying out of pocket. I paid for about 6~ months and then work started picking up the tab. when this tool can get you 20-25% more productive, at the enterprise level, its worth every penny.

I would love some integration with ChatGPT or similar, where you can explain how and why you want things to be scheduled a certain way. Have it do the thinking for us. My difficulty overall is that I struggle to estimate how much time something takes and have everything put into categories and priorities. That's what I need help with. I thought Motion would be the closest thing (before we literally have virtual assistance that resemble human assistants as much as possible - hopefully not to far away) cause lets be honest, if AI can't do that then what is the point?
@MichaelMcWilliamsmaz Жыл бұрын
Yeah had the same feeling from my two days on the trial. One idea I'd suggest is having an AI (With a name) Let's just call it Mikey. Who greets you when you open the app and helps you plan your first week step by step while explaining how the app works would be such a cool experience. ATM this doesn't feel very different from other Mgmt software I use and in many ways more confusing

Motion is the first productivity app I have used and I just discovered time blocking so I kind of like it. But I do have problems with what happems to unfinished tasks, and with the way Motion insistd on scheduling things over my already blocked calendar items. And that price.... Any other recommendations?

Ive been fiddling with this app for several hours and since it was unable to sync properly with my ical, it pulled my workday schedule in - incorrectly and the times were inaccurate like caregiving for my mom at 12 am on weekends but during the daytime hours during the week. Not really worth it, but great potential

Aye I was testing this out now and they charged me even though I'm new, however I had the same issues it's still quite buggy and I'm not sure it's in a place for full project management. Also, I have no idea why you would add a bulk task upload feature and if they do have one I can't find it. It also did not integrate with other apps I use yet, which is such a bummer. I think if they can get the AI down they may be better off licensing the tech to other built out project management platforms.
@MrJasonGracey Жыл бұрын
It seems like it wants you to spend more time on project management so that it can try to save you a bit of that time scheduling it.

THANK YOU for this review. While an AI assisitant is a neat idea, this company seems to have released a product before it was fully developed. Also it's actually $36/month on the monthly plan and $20/month on the yearly plan... so $240 for the year. Which is really steep for a half-baked "AI" tool.

Perhaps the app confused your language style. "Turn in the report" is a phrasal verb and we tend to make headlines short, key on the calendar. May you rewrite "Submit the report" would help the app precisely understand your intention.

Agreed. Why would I decide for a fact whether to use a tool from someone who's learning it themselves for a day or less than a week? And a year later I'm sure the dev team have made improvements anyway. Many of us are too impressionable.
