So worth it

Even though it took a bit to get a hold of all its features and shortcuts, once I finally did I absolutely loved Amazing Marvin. It's got everything I could ever need to organize myself and focus on all the things that truly matter. I've tried almost all project management/organizing/to-do-list apps under the sun and I've always disliked that I needed to complement them with others because they had key features missing. Not with Marvin! Marvin has it all.

My favourite features by far are:

- The ability to plan my week with timeblocking [Something I missed in Asana and that I needed Google Calendar for -- Not anymore!]

- Being able to add time estimates to each task (which make time blocking a breeze when the time estimates are already in place) and then choosing to Beat The Clock to challenge myself to be even more time efficient! Also being able to select when a task is starting, to speed up even more the time blocking process!

- Tracking time for each task to have a clearer view of where your time is going and how much you're actually spending on each task [Goodbye Toggl!]

- Adding frogs and stars to tasks you're dreading so that you remember to tackle those first and 'eat the frog'

- The Eisenhower matrix! It's a bit complicated to set up but once I find a method that works for me, I know it's going to be a game changer!

- Being able to choose which project I want to focus on that day and have it show a progress bar with how much I have completed so far!

- The fact that it adds an exclamation point to a task when you've procrastinated on it for a while. So if you've procrastinated on a task for a week it'll have "!!!!!!!" in front of it and it just pushes you to complete it asap. It also cracks me up to see that in some of my tasks haha.

- The cute mascot! Whenever I see it running when the page loads I just want to squeeze it haha It's adorable! I wish it would show up more in the dashboard when you take certain actions like complete a task or to remind you you're procrastinating too much on a task.

I could spend all day talking about what I love about Marvin but I should go back to work and be efficient thanks to Marvin :')

I know when the time comes to renew, I'll be more than confident in paying the fee (though I have my eyes on the lifetime plan).

Thanks for such a great app, Marvin team and AppSumo team! Keep up the good work!
