# Concept: How the Motion team sets up their Motion

Favorites are designed to **speed up navigation** and **keep important work within reach**. Here’s why this feature will make your Motion experience even better:

✅ **Stay Organized:** Keep high-priority items at your fingertips and reduce clutter in your workspace.

✅ **Work Smarter:** Spend less time clicking through menus and more time focusing on your work.

### **How We Use Favorites at Motion**

**Here’s how we’re already using Favorites to improve our workflows**

**For Project Management:** We favorite **key projects** like “Marketing Campaigns” and “Product Launches” to keep them easily accessible.

*Note: You can't favorite the whole workspace, you can only favorite, docs, folders, and projects*

#### **Method 1: From the sidebar**

1. Go to your sidebar.
2. Expand the workspace list for the project you want to favorite.
3. **Hover the item** you want to favorite.
4. Open the **⋯** menu → **Add to Favorites**.

### **Task Monitoring**

We add saved views like “**Past Due Projects**” or “High-Priority Tasks” to stay on top of critical work.

**How to Create and Favorite a Saved View**

1. **Open Projects & Tasks** from the sidebar.
2. Use filters and sorting to narrow down what you want to monitor (e.g., *Status = Overdue* or \
   \&#xNAN;*Priority = High*).
   1. To filter for Status:
      1. Click on **Filters.**
      2. Click on **+** beside **Projects.**
      3. Scroll down to **Statuses.**
      4. Select the Statuses you want to filter for.
3. At the top of the views tab, click the **⋯ menu** (next to the view name).
4. Select **Save as new view**.
5. Give your view a clear name, like **Past Due Projects**.
6. Go to your newly created view **Past Due Projects**. Open the **⋯ menu** and select **Add to Favorites**.
7. Confirm the view now appears under **Favorites** in your sidebar.
