Just started using Motion. I understand it may not be for everyone, but as a professional with ADD, it’s been revolutionary.

I just found this last night. This gives me hope. I have often felt like my life was a ball of yarn. I struggled with knowing where to pull? That hamster on a wheel feeling is exhausting. Others have often been impressed with me & then feel conflicted about other simple things I had trouble with. I have a hangup about appearing incompetent. I'm so grateful for the ad that brought me to this app.

I've been using it for several months. Definitely pricey, but I feel it's worth it as I have a very interrupt-driven schedule, and having an app that automatically schedules/reschedules around those "fires" without my needing to think about it is TOTALLY WORTH IT.

Great review and tutorial, thank you very

Concerning to me that over a year later, they still haven't added a Monthly view. I feel that this was a great idea that hasn't been maintained and refreshed. Do you still use it?

[kurtyaz]

So now that it's been a year since you signed up for this, looking back do you think it has been worth it? I'm also a big ClickUp user and am contemplating testing this out to see how it works, I find the same issue with time-blocking, and this seems to be pretty helpful in theory.

Would be great to hear your feedback now that you've gone a whole year here.

What do you use for a CRM, we use alot of the same programs but I"m still looking for a good CRM

[rcherry]

My tasks are stuck on pending and won't add to my calendar. It's also scheduling tasks during meetings.

[shayj]

My version looks different then yours. I guess they have upgraded the system.... I'm having an issue recurring task and I notice when you edited your "Make Lunch" task after you saved it went off your calendar??? This is my problem actually, I'm trying to get the recurring task to show on my calendar and it's not showing, even on days I don't have the full day booked...IDK.. I'm still trying to decide if this will work for me.. Thanks for your tutorial.

I really wished i watched this before i spent 2/3rds of the day sheduling workshop and installs, to find that it only shows two weeks worth of timeline. Everything else about the programme is brilliant. I've never used software like this before, and I was sheduling within minutes and solving problems quite easily on the fly. Its the 2 week thing is complete deal breaker.

[lorinneburke]

I'm a therapist, if I have a last second cancelation, will this automatically fill in tasks for that time?

[CaraBrandonCreations]

Are you still using motion? I just found out about the app a few days ago and see lots of potential for it but also find it a bit quirky to figure out.

[Milkybar]

I have ADD and just looking at this overwhelms me.

If you’re going to create more content, you’ve got to kill all the “ums”. They were distracting from an otherwise great video.

Thanks for showing the scheduler and the different options there. I haven’t explored that yet.

[scuehjg]

Yeah good in theory but it doesn't work in real life. thank you.
