#154: 4 Activities You Should Try Batching


Listen Later

We've all been there. The day is ending and you're just feeling the whiplash of a day that required a seemingly endless list of decisions and tasks. While it can feel like you have no control over how your day plays out, the truth is that there are some tasks that you will do repeatedly. Those tasks are perfect candidates to be batched. Batching means less time transitioning between tasks and more time getting them done quickly. It's a win-win situation!

In this Courtney-approved episode, Courtney and Verbs share four activities that you should try batching. They'll give you specific ideas to help at work and home - as well as some other helpful tips to keep you from feeling beat up at the end of your day.

In this episode, you'll learn:

  • How your chronotype can help you decide when and how to batch activities
  • How to recognize when the work you're doing is "creative" and how to prepare for it
  • Which activities are the easiest to batch
  • What happened to Nick's first pair of glasses
