What Problems Does Flexible Hours Solve? 🤔
Have you ever faced situations where your regular schedule (where your tasks are scheduled) doesn't align with your day-to-day life? Flexible Hours in Motion addresses these common challenges:
Redesign Your Hours: Easily adjust your work hours for days when you need to start or finish work at different times. For example, if you're getting up early and want to stop tasks from scheduling past 4 pm.
Customize Your Day: Set up unique work schedules, such as alternating workdays or non-standard hours, to better fit your lifestyle. Imagine running to the dentist in the middle of the day. You can now block off specific time blocks in your day to accommodate one-off errands.
Blocking Out Time: Block out specific hours or entire days when you need to focus on personal matters or take a break from work. If it's a holiday, you can now simply click "BLOCK WHOLE DAY."
How to Use Flexible Hours in Motion 📅
To leverage the Flexible Hours feature effectively, follow these straightforward steps:
Access Flexible Hours: Click the clock icon on the top of each day.
Customize Your Schedule: When you click the clock icon, you will see four options:
Block Hours: This is like clocking out a splendid chunk of your day to ensure that tasks won't be scheduled during that time. For example, you have tasks scheduled back-to-back from 9 am to 5 pm. Click the clock, and block time from 2 pm to 4 pm because you're going to the doctor. Your tasks will be rescheduled to accommodate this one-off change in your schedule.
Block Whole Day: If you don't want to do any tasks or work on a specific day (e.g., vacation, spontaneous holiday, emergency), you can use this option. Clicking this will block out the entire day, and all tasks will be moved off that day.
Start Tasks Later: For those days when you had a late night and need some extra sleep, click the clock icon and select "Start Tasks Later."
Stop Tasks Early: If you're ahead of your tasks from 9 am to 5 pm and want to end work at 2 pm, click the clock icon and select "Stop Tasks Early." Motion will adjust your schedule accordingly.
Save Your Changes: Confirm your schedule adjustments, and Motion will seamlessly adapt your calendar to your new settings.
Now, you have the flexibility to tailor your work schedule to your needs, ensuring a better work-life balance.
