Batching tasks is the process of saving up similar tasks and completing them all at the same time. When you focus on doing the same task repeatedly, you become more efficient at it. You don’t have to waste time trying to switch your mind and body from one task to another. The same process applies when you batch your tasks and focus on streamlining your to-do list. Jenae gives great tips on how to create goals, breaking down the goals into more manageable projects and tasks and batching tasks to increase productivity and ultimately earn more. Check out her resources above and become more productive.
