One of the biggest drains on productivity is task switching. Each time you move from one type of task to another, your brain wastes energy adjusting. Batch processing fixes this.

Examples of Batching

Emails: Instead of checking constantly, process them 2–3 times a day. Meetings: Group them into one or two days instead of scattering across the week. Errands: Do all your shopping, banking, or chores in a single trip. Content creation: Write multiple posts or prepare presentations in one focused session.

Why It Works

Batching keeps you in the same “mental zone” longer, saving time and improving the quality of your work.

Takeaway

Grouping similar tasks together minimizes distractions and maximizes efficiency.
