More Effective Time Management Seminar - Using Batching
I used to be the kind of person that found it extremely hard to focus on one task and to even start most difficult tasks at all (annoyingly the kinds of tasks that I had trouble doing were the ones that really needed to be done - like school work and chores). A few years ago I read a book, however, that showed me how to manage my time better, how to work more effectively and how to be more productive.
It seemed that the reason I wasn't working very well was because I kept getting distracted as I had so much going on in my head. I would often build up the energy and drive to start working on one task, then as soon as I'd finished it I'd become instantly distracted for a couple of hours, when instead I should've moved onto the next task. This was a common occurrence with me for years, and it wasn't until I learnt about batching and how to batch tasks together that things really started to change.
Batching basically means grouping all similar tasks together and then doing them at once. It is the holy grail of productivity. A good example of batching that I like to use is about a bakery. When bakers make cakes or bread, they don't make each one separately from scratch each time, mixing and baking one loaf of bread by itself. They first make a big batch of the dough, then put it into the right shapes or moulds, then bake all the bread together and then package it up ready for sale. They do it this way because it's more efficient, and because they can get into their 'flow state' while they are working.
