If you’re anything like me, maybe your days are a constant shuffle of meetings, toddler snack requests, school events, and that one errand you keep putting off. Finding time to breathe, let alone feel productive, can feel impossible some days.
And that, fellow mamas, is where Motion comes in. It’s an AI productivity and task management app that’s become my not-so-secret weapon for keeping it all together. It’s like having a personal assistant in your pocket, helping you organize your calendar, prioritize tasks, and even find space for that overdue coffee break.
In this post, I’ll walk you through how Motion works, the features I’ve been obsessed with, and why it’s a must-have for busy moms who want to reclaim a little peace and productivity in their day.
Simplify productivity for family and work life
There are times the mix of work and family life can feel like an endless game of whack a mole… just as you check off one task, then three more pop up. That’s where AI technology can step in and really change things up (be sure to check out my recent podcast episode and paired free download all about how I use Chat GPT to save myself 20 hours per week as a working mom). It’s amazing how these tools can help you prioritize, plan, and execute tasks in an incredibly efficient way.
Think of AI as the behind the scenes partner that keeps everything running smoothly. It can organize your schedule, find gaps for focused work, remind you about deadlines, and even help you tackle those small but time consuming tasks (like sorting through email chaos).
For moms who are always on the go, AI can honestly be a lifeline. It helps with:
✅ Saving time
✅ Reducing the mental load
✅ Creating space for what matters most to you
How AI helps streamline your daily tasks

Simple, efficient, and designed to make your life easier. Pretty amazing, right?

How Motion’s features make life easier for busy moms
Let’s talk about figuring out how work, kids, and a social life all fit together, because it’s an art form. Between running three Pilates studios, managing New Modern Mom, raising two kids, and making space for dates with my husband and catch-ups with friends, I needed a way to stay on top of everything without losing my sanity.
Enter, Motion. It’s become my go-to tool for keeping life organized. Finally, a way to sync all my calendars (the personal, the professional, the school, etc.) so I don’t double book myself. Honestly, Motion helps me stay on top of it all, without the constant stress of wondering what I’ve forgotten.
Integrating your calendars
Motion brings all your calendars together in one place—personal, work, family, school—you name it. It syncs seamlessly with Google Calendar, Outlook, and iCloud, so everything stays up to date without the hassle of flipping between apps.
What I love most is that it helps you:
- Avoid double booking with one cohesive schedule.
- Spot gaps for focused work or family time easily.
- Create time blocks for your needs (meetings, events, calls, etc)
- Reschedules tasks automatically if something changes.
Automated task scheduling
Motion can automatically plan your day by scheduling your tasks into your calendar. Which means no more guessing when you'll have time to get things done. It figures it out for you.
Here’s how it works:
- Prioritizes tasks based on deadlines and importance.
- Fills open slots in your calendar with your to-dos.
- Adjusts your schedule if something urgent pops up.
It’s like having that executive assistant who makes sure everything gets done without you having to think about it. Love!
Managing tasks and projects
Motion simplifies managing both small tasks and big projects by breaking everything down into clear, actionable steps. It keeps your work organized and makes sure nothing falls through the cracks. It’s a straightforward way to stay organized and keep moving forward, even with a packed schedule.
Here’s why it’s helpful:
- Keeps all your tasks in one place. Finally no scattered to-do lists and trying to keep mental tabs in your head.
- Automatically assigns deadlines and schedules time to work on them.
- Tracks progress on larger projects so you can see what’s done and what’s next.
AI-powered email prioritization
Motion’s AI helps cut through the chaos of your inbox by sorting and prioritizing your emails for you [insert one excited happy dance here]. It highlights the most important messages so you can respond to those first, without wasting time on endless scrolling. It’s a simple way to stay on top of communication without feeling overwhelmed by unread messages piling up. This is a big win, IMO. (Check out my other AI hack for how I stopped writing emails.)
Customizable dashboards
Motion’s dashboards let you see everything you need at a glance. And you can customize what’s displayed, like tasks, meetings, or deadlines. The view is purposefully simplified so you’re not overwhelmed by too much information.
Why Motion stands out among other productivity apps
Apps that give you a to-do list and leave you to figure it out? No thanks. Motion actually works with you, using AI to manage your time and tasks in a way that feels seamless.
It’s like having a personal assistant who gets your priorities, adapts when things change, and helps you make the most of your day, all without the steep learning curve of other apps. Motion gives you back control of your time, and to me that’s such a powerful thing for busy moms.
If you’re ready to make life a little easier, Motion might just be the app you’ve been looking for. And for even more ways AI can help, check out my blog on ChatGPT Hacks for Parents and my podcast that elaborates on five practical ways to use ChatGPT as a busy mom.
