Is Motion Down?
Written By The Aftertone Team
Check https://status.usemotion.com for live status. If Motion is not listed as having an active incident, the issue may be on your end -- try restarting the app or checking your internet connection.
What to do right now
1. Open Google Calendar directly. Your events sync there regardless of whether Motion is working.
2. Write your three priorities for the day. Open Notes or grab a piece of paper. Three things that have to happen today. Motion going down does not change what matters.
3. Check Motion's status. Motion outages are typically short but unannounced. If there is no update after 20 minutes, plan your day without it.
4. Start on your first priority. The real cost of a planning tool outage is not the 20 minutes it is down -- it is the hour you lose waiting for it instead of working.
If this keeps happening
If this keeps happening, it is worth having a backup. Smart Capture imports your task list automatically -- paste it in and Aftertone structures everything. Most people have their first week planned within a few minutes.
The weekly flow report shows your actual focus hours, peak day, and where your time really went. Motion does not have that.
