Momentum - The productivity coach in your pocket

Momentum bridges a gap between what we know we should do, and what we actually do with our time. It’s here to help you zoom from big picture goals all the way down to what you’re doing today.

I've been using Momentum to track my Big Rocks each week/month/quarter for about six months. Really enjoying the way that I can move things around and the structure that the app brings. I'm looking forward to the future platform that the team is creating with this as a very solid V1 of a great planner app.

@lisanicolebell Thanks for your support and what a lovely comment: "Their experience in making people and teams more productive makes them the perfect band to deliver a well thought out product." <--- It also gives me a pretty funny visual of the Team Momentum band. I've got dibs on the drums! Seriously though, we really appreciate you and are excited to share this with the world.

I have been a fan and implementor of Productive Flourishing's methods for planning and prioritizing for over a decade. I am SO excited about this app that will make integrating the methodology into practice much more seamless.
Charlie Gilkey
@pamslim Thanks so much for the support! You know better than most how long we've been testing, refining, and teaching about the system since you've been with us from the jump.
Mary Clare O'Donnell
@pamslim amazing to see people who have been into the planners on a long term basis now ready to run with the app! We’re so glad to have you in our success pack. 💫
Angela Wheeler
@pamslim We appreciate you in a BIG WAY!! Thank you for being on this journey with us as it continues to evolve and we get the opportunity to support more people in getting done what matters to them. Here's to our collective thriving and the ripples we each get to make in the world by finishing our best work. <3
Shannon McDonough
@pamslim Pam! We're so grateful to have you in our community because that's who we built Momentum for/with. Your feedback is invaluable!
Naveed Rehman
Aha... watched the video. Looks like its a "working backward" approach. Seems interesting. Congratulations on such a wonderful launch!
Maghan Haggerty
@naveed_rehman Thanks for the support! Momentum helps us work backward and forward simultaneously - great for all planning types: top-down, bottom, up, and everything in between! Appreciate you checking taking a look.
Angela Wheeler
@naveed_rehman Thanks for watching the video, Naveed! I love that you saw that approach and hope you take the chance to try Momentum out for yourself. As @maghan_haggerty mentioned, Momentum lets you plan top-down and bottom-up, depending on what works for your brain. That's one of the things I love so much about the methodology: it isn't so rigid, but it provides some great constraints and boundaries while still letting us be creative. Thanks again for the support!
Shannon McDonough
@naveed_rehman Thanks for checking Momentum out, Naveed! We're here for any questions or feedback you may have. As @angela_wheeler1 said, Momentum is nimble while also providing the structure you need to get your best work done.
Charlie Gilkey
@naveed_rehman Thanks, Naveed! As @maghan_haggerty said, while many people will use the top-down, working backward approach, Momentum is actually set up so that you can be a bottom-up, moving-forward planner just the same. Additionally, part of the magic of Momentum is that you can anchor to and only use the time horizons that work best for you. Some folks just need a weekly-level view of what's going on and can run from there. Others like to mix and match daily and monthly.
Nico Spijker
Cool approach with the different time views and the mobile-first approach! Will definitely test it out. 🚀
Shannon McDonough
@nicolaas_spijker thanks for checking us out, Nico! If you have any questions or feedback, we're all ears. Can't wait to hear what you think once you've given Momentum a spin.
Maghan Haggerty
@nicolaas_spijker Thanks Nico! Let us know how it goes and if you need any help you can reach us at support@hellomomentum.app
Angela Wheeler
@nicolaas_spijker Thank you, Nico! 🚀 We're really excited about Momentum. As the team mentioned, please do let us know if we can support you in some way as you start your planning. And, we love to hear what momentum you're seeing on your projects as you get into the app. We'd love to celebrate with you!
Charlie Gilkey
@nicolaas_spijker Hi, Nico. Thank you for giving Momentum a go. Definitely let us know if we can support your journey with the app in any way.
Krisann Clark
Is this a live event?
Steve Arensberg
@mrsclark Hi Krisann - we (Team Momentum) are on Product Hunt today interacting with folks and answering questions. Happy to have you joining us!
Krisann Clark
@steve_arensberg I finally figured it out, and I am extremely happy for an app like this. Very specific and extremely encouraging to getting tasks, etc. completed. However, the nerves in my body prefer a planner using pen/pencil/markers. Some day I’ll be able to use the app.
Steve Arensberg
@mrsclark That's awesome, Krisann! One thing that's also our future features wish list is integrating paper planners and app: printing from the app like we have today, but also uploading from your written planner page into the app. Best of both worlds! or as Charlie put it: #TeamBoth.
Angela Wheeler
@mrsclark @steve_arensberg Thanks for sharing that with Krisann, Steve. We're all for #TeamBoth here! A little no-so-secret secret....I still use paper for some things too. ;-) We totally get that at Momentum and are going to keep planning for and working with that as we continue to iterate.
Osheyana Martinez
Osheyana in Ops here, dropping in to give my 2 (or 3) cents. I feel like I need to say how incredibly important the Momentum Team has been to me over the last year that we’ve been working on this new journey into app-land. It’s wonderful, first of all, to be creating an app that’s dedicated to eliminating distractions and helping people follow the flow of their life. As someone who’s made 10,000 to-do lists in her life (in marker, on paper, of course), Momentum, and the methodology that’s baked in, has been a game-changer for me. I know what I need to do, I check it off, or I punt it to tomorrow’s list. I use a plethora of apps to help me maintain and keep track of the different projects and routines that are on deck, but a key to actually executing them is to connect the pieces in Momentum. No frills, no reminders inbox, no shiny things to distract me from why I’m there in the first place. The reminders app just won’t do it, and my Crayola-color-coded to-do lists would take 10x as long. It’s been a really nice transition. Also, “sparkly” is a theme option? Yes, please! I’ve leveled up because I know what’s on deck and I know what needs to get done. It feels good to be good at checking things off for once. Moreover, and to the point, this team is a force I’ve never encountered before. The care and compassion that this team shows to each other and to the community is both motivating and heartwarming. Awe-inspiring, even. I can’t wait to see what else we dream up for this endeavor, and how we can continue to help people like me find their best work and focus on the things that really matter. I truly appreciate all of the incredible support we’ve received on our launch today and I’m stoked to be a part of this beautiful crew of makers and doers. 😁👏🏼🎉
Maghan Haggerty
@osheyana YOU! I love how you pointed out the "no frills, no reminders, no shiny things to distract" - it's so true. There are just too many apps and tools that take us away from our best work, Momentum gets us to it. Thank you for sharing your experience. It's truly an honor to work with you!
Steve Arensberg
@osheyana "this team is a force" - yes, you are! :)
Angela Wheeler
@osheyana I love how you explain how Momentum helps you! Thank you for sharing that sneak peek into Oshey land. "I’ve leveled up because I know what’s on deck and I know what needs to get done. It feels good to be good at checking things off for once." <--Yes, you have and it's been an honor to watch you do so. We're lucky to have your kick ass brain and heart on our team.
Charlie Gilkey
@osheyana Thank you for all the amazing support you have given during this launch! It's been great getting to watch you gain your own momentum in the world and on the team!
