Initially, I ignored them because it seems like scam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I was content with &#8222;Getting Things Done&#8220; through TickTick. But when my current productivity system started to falter, my interest piqued. Could Motion AI genuinely save 30.3 days annually and increase productivity by 137%? I decided to give it a try. Here&#8217;s my review after one week:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What I Love:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>* Booking Function: Similar to calendly I can send links with my availabilities and zoom. It syncs perfectly with my schedule and is very easy to use.&nbsp;<br>* Spaces: I loved this feature. It reminded me of the ToDo app called Nirvana. It lets me separate different areas of my life, like personal tasks, music-related projects, and freelance ideas. Switching between them feels very smooth.<br>* Automation: It&#8217;s good to have some overview about tasks I could start the day with. Not fully happy with their choice but it gives me the feeling of basic structure and control. But I found myself asking, is this genuine AI, or is it just smart programming?<br>* Tutorials: Motion provides great introductory resources. I particularly enjoyed the video guides, some of which are from the founder. I&#8217;m excited to see any new features they introduce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reservations and Doubts:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>* Price: $32 a month is a bit high. They do have a yearly option for $14 per month. I went with the monthly plan to test it out. I&#8217;m not sure If I will commit for one year and test it more.&nbsp;<br>* Interface: While it&#8217;s user-friendly, at times it reminds me of self made WordPress Design and could be smoother.<br>* Aggressive Marketing: Their heavy promotions and discounts make me wonder. Are they just trying to attract customers and revenue instead of working on a great product?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Features I Still Need to Explore:<br>* Tasks Feature: I need to look more into how tasks are created and managed, how I can prioritize them and create dependencies.&nbsp;<br>* Addressing Integrations. How will it in the future improve and integrate with other tools like ChatGpt?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What I Miss:<br>* A Chaotic Inbox: I missed the simplicity of an inbox where I could dump all my ideas quickly. With Motion, this process takes longer. So I still jot down my thoughts in TickTick and then later move them to Motion into tasks.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Final Thoughts:<br>One week is a short time, but I noticed significant changes and feel like having more overview about my tasks and more productive. I enjoyed the newfound order, but was it due to Motion&#8217;s capabilities or just the excitement of a new tool?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Conclusion:<br>My journey with Motion has just begun. As I dive deeper and learn more, I&#8217;ll share further insights and decide if I will invest in it.&nbsp;<br>P.S. I&#8217;d love to hear from other Motion users or those considering it. I&#8217;m eager to hear about your experiences and thoughts.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/feed\/hashtag\/?keywords=productreview&amp;highlightedUpdateUrns=urn%3Ali%3Aactivity%3A7097541668442136576\">#productreview<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/feed\/hashtag\/?keywords=usemotion&amp;highlightedUpdateUrns=urn%3Ali%3Aactivity%3A7097541668442136576\"> <\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/feed\/hashtag\/?keywords=usemotion&amp;highlightedUpdateUrns=urn%3Ali%3Aactivity%3A7097541668442136576\">#usemotion<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/feed\/hashtag\/?keywords=productivity&amp;highlightedUpdateUrns=urn%3Ali%3Aactivity%3A7097541668442136576\"> <\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/feed\/hashtag\/?keywords=productivity&amp;highlightedUpdateUrns=urn%3Ali%3Aactivity%3A7097541668442136576\">#productivity<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/feed\/hashtag\/?keywords=ai&amp;highlightedUpdateUrns=urn%3Ali%3Aactivity%3A7097541668442136576\"> <\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/feed\/hashtag\/?keywords=ai&amp;highlightedUpdateUrns=urn%3Ali%3Aactivity%3A7097541668442136576\">#ai<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/feed\/hashtag\/?keywords=iterationofsystems&amp;highlightedUpdateUrns=urn%3Ali%3Aactivity%3A7097541668442136576\"> <\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/feed\/hashtag\/?keywords=iterationofsystems&amp;highlightedUpdateUrns=urn%3Ali%3Aactivity%3A7097541668442136576\">#iterationofsystems<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/feed\/hashtag\/?keywords=orderandchaos&amp;highlightedUpdateUrns=urn%3Ali%3Aactivity%3A7097541668442136576\"> <\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/feed\/hashtag\/?keywords=orderandchaos&amp;highlightedUpdateUrns=urn%3Ali%3Aactivity%3A7097541668442136576\">#orderandchaos<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For over a year, I&#8217;ve seen ads for the so-called AI-ToDo-System, Motion (https:\/\/www.usemotion.com\/) , on Instagram.
