How to save time by batching your work - 5 links
I discovered the concept of batching “Batching Work” last week. I say discovered because I didn’t read the full article. I was too busy. But I did scan it. I’ll take a full read sometime soon be returning to this blog post.
The concept is simple, work on a group of similar activities all at the same time.
20 Tips for Batching to Save Time and Cut Stress: “Collect up a group of similar activities and do them all at the same time. This is the main principle behind batching. You could collect up all your e-mail answering, household chores, reading assignments or phone calls and do them at one time.”
Darren Rowse at How Batch Processing Made Me 10 Times More Productive: “I have discovered that most of the activities that I do in my work can be ‘batched’ in one way or another. I have discovered that many ‘urgent’ things can wait and in fact to make them ‘take a number’ and ‘get in line’ brings order to mess.”

Nick Pagan Here’s A Quick Way to Boost Your Productivity - Batch Processing: “We can boost our productivity by actively organizing our activities to suit the way our minds work.

Wow,
Thanks for sharing. I was first “officially” introduced to the concept of batching in Tim Ferris’ The Four Hour Work Week. I used it before reading the book but this solidified of using batching at every possible moment. I’ll definately be checking out these links.
Thanks again.
