Productivity Tip #3 - Batching. Batching is the idea of grouping together similar tasks to do them all the same time. Think of laundry, for example, you don't wash just the pair of socks each time, you batch them up in a basket and do it at once. Similar concept with your Daily, Weekly, Monthly or quarterly goals. Why do you do that? Because there is task switching costs and set up costs involved with each work task and if you batch similar tasks at once, you can reduce these costs and improve efficiency and effectiveness.
