Created for This with Danielle Roberts

Today's episode is all about how I batch produce my content. I walk step by step through how I create content.

It's something I'm really passionate about because it helps me get a lot more done in my day with my four kids and the younger ones only being in daycare a limited number of days of the week.

Wednesday is the day that even the 3-month-old is in daycare and the day that I currently use to get everything done. Batching is simply saying that you're going to get everything done in one day or in one set of time.

I'm also multi-purposing my content. I do a video for my YouTube channel, the podcast and create a blog out of this as well. 

After I decide what platform I want to develop content for, I decide what I want to create. If I'm recording with a guest, I record with them on Wednesdays. If I'm writing, I try and write on those days. I find that when I'm more focused then I'm able to get more done. If my kids are around then it's harder for me to write.

The things you can batch are things that have an action. For instance, letter writing. If I want to write letters, I'll go in and write at the same time so I don't have to constantly take out cards, stamps, and getting a ton of stuff out every day. If you're Facebook posting for your page or group, you can schedule out posts. That way you don't have to go in every day and schedule, you can do it all at once so it's done.

You can batch cook or clean. It honestly depends on your season of life. Right now I don't have the fridge space to hold that much prepared food but I do like to do all my cleaning at one time.

If you want to implement this and it sounds like something that could work for you, you should try it. It does take time to plan it out and you might need to do a few tries, however, it is worth it.

I take time in the middle of the month to prepare my ideas and themes for the next month so that I know exactly what it is that I'm doing before. Know what you're talking about and how you want to talk about it.

Try to free up distractions - turn off all of your notifications on your phone, close down tabs or computer windows if that distracts you. If you feel like it's not working, see what's going on. Also, if you need some help and accountability, schedule an Organization Strategy session with me. It's a 45-minute call with a 20-minute follow up call to help you create a better strategy and get organized so you can batch your schedule too.

Hi, guys. I realized that I hadn't done a basically "My story" episode of the "Created for This" show, and so here we are. For those of you who are new to me, my name Is Danielle Roberts and I am a business manager, and strategist, author, of the book "Created for This", and I am a mentor for Christian businesswomen as well. That's the typical bio that you all get whenever you listen to a podcast I'm featured on. And this episode sponsored by my beautiful "I was Created for This" mug, with Ephesians 2:10 on there in the beautiful script. If you want to grab a mug, you definitely can over at daniellemroberts.com/mug. And you can get a beautiful mug shipped right to your house. I call it a Christian affirmation mug because it affirms that you were created for what you're doing.

• The why behind this podcast.
• Bringing our search for identity back to the Bible.
• How to deal with comparison with a biblical attitude.
