Batching is solely responsible for saving me and my business 9+ hours per week.

Here's how this simple system works and how you can use it:
What is batching?

When you group similar tasks into a singular productive work session so you can tackle them all at once.

Here's why it's so effective...
Every time you switch between tasks, a lot of time and mental energy is used clarifying where you left off and getting you back into your flow state.

The idea is to minimize starting and stopping as much as possible and increase the time spent getting things done.
A perfect example of an activity that most people start and stop multiple times a day is... Email.

This is a productivity killer.
Unless you’re in a sales or customer support role where your number one priority is responding to incoming messages, you shouldn’t be checking it regularly.

Instead clarify how often you need to check your email, time block it in your calendar, and turn off email notifications.
Remember, multi-tasking is (scientifically) not possible.

What you’re actually doing is rapidly shifting your focus which is extremely unproductive.
Other examples of batch-worthy activities:

- Planning
- Follow-ups
- Data Review
- Meetings/Calls
- Content Creation
- Customer support
- Accounting & Finances
- Cleaning (physical + digital)
Go ahead and try it:

- Identify all the tasks that you regularly do
- Group them by similarity
- Create time blocks in your calendar for each (recurring if needed)
If you are ready to:

1. Systemize your business
2. Remove yourself from operations
3. Scale by working on (not in) the business
