If you\u2019re unfamiliar with Motion, the company is pretty fresh in the calendar app sector. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regardless, its product \u2013 the Motion app \u2013 has rapidly gone viral in many AI and productivity enthusiast communities. And it has 20K+ users who are top performers and teams at present. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, why is it so hot? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Motion is primarily a scheduling app but with side capabilities of project management, task management, and meeting scheduling. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Or, if you’ve ever heard of the “all-in-one” concept, Motion works the way like that\u2014but with a little twist. The app uses artificial intelligence (AI) for auto-scheduling the day. <\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To say it exactly, Motion’s AI technology can: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n 1) automatically prioritize and auto-schedule tasks and events on your Motion calendar. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n 2) reshuffle your calendar when there are emergent tasks or events.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It means you don’t need to drag and drop any task to your calendar manually. You don’t need to reschedule your day due to unexpected tasks or events, either. Nope. Motion does these for you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But don’t worry, you have the option to turn off the auto-scheduling function if you don’t feel like using it. Just switch this toggle off, and you can plan your work manually. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How does Motion’s AI scheduling tool work?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

So how does Motion automatically prioritize tasks and auto-schedule them on your calendar? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

First of all, let me clarify the phrase “automatically prioritizes tasks”. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s not that you only need to create tasks, and Motion will automatically identify which one is the most critical to complete first, then set a color-coded priority for each of them. Nope. The tool is not that intelligent to read your mind through the air and work that way. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And really, what tool can? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To have Motion’s AI scheduling tool work, you need to put in your to-do list, then fill each task with: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
