# 2 Minutes Quick start

*Make sure you check out* [*What is Motion?*](https://www.usemotion.com/help/getting-started/what-is-motion)*.*  

Hello there! My goal for this article is to walk you through Motion basics in just 2 minutes. Strap in, we are about to go for a ride! I will include links with more detailed instructions and context for each section. The goal here is to start small and snowball away.
