Motion is worth it for a dense schedule to auto-optimize; for light organization, a free tool is enough.
About
In practice. What you can do with Motion.
Motion combines task management and calendar with an algorithm that automatically replans your day based on priorities, deadlines, and already-set meetings — the idea being to stop manually organizing your schedule task by task.
For a freelancer or solopreneur juggling multiple projects and deadlines, it's a bet on delegating planning to an algorithm rather than a simple static task list like Todoist.
