Not to mention the fact, that if anything went wrong (a guest cancelled, my microphone didn’t work, the topic didn’t feel right…) I would have to scramble to get shows done for the next week. While this may not seem like too bad of a system, it creates a stream of CONSTANT work because each week I would be thinking about finding a guest, scheduling the interview, picking a topic, writing questions, sending them prep, sharing logistics, recording, writing a solo show, recording it… And repeating it all over again the next week and the next week. Which would mean every week, I’d record one solo show and one guest show and then release them the next week. For example, with this podcast, it would be so easy for me to record one off episodes to keep up with the flow of the show. To learn what batching is, let’s first learn what batching is not. What do I mean by this? It is dividing your workflow into different days/hours of ONE TOPIC instead of jumping around from task to task. Without further ado, this is Batch Working 101! WHAT IS BATCH WORKING?īatch working is highly-focused, topic-specific forms of working. Sound to good to be true? Well, I promise it’s very true. I can truly say batch working has transformed my business… but it wasn’t always easy or natural to me! I was obsessed with having my hands in many projects at once and convinced that multi-tasking was simply “the way I worked”, but with time, I have solidified a plan that allows me to work ahead, plan with strategy, work efficiently, and have time off to truly REST.

So that’s why I am going to teach you how to ditch the multi-tasking lifestyle and transition into my personal work style: batch working. And this one… heavy multi-tasking can temporarily lower IQ up to 15 points (Ahem, which is THREE TIMES the effect of smoking cannabis.)ĭid that get your attention? Good! It’s one thing to know that multi-tasking isn’t efficient for your business (or your life!), but it’s another to actively choose to focus on one task at a time. When multitasking, it takes 50% longer to accomplish a certain task, not to mention, it increases errors by 50%. Multi-taskers reduce productivity by FORTY PERCENT across the board.

AKA, not giving either task our full attention. We are just switching our mind back and forth rapidly from one task to another. And here’s the thing… we’re not REALLY multitasking. The average time spent on a task before losing focus is only 1 minute 15 seconds. Let me give it to you straight, Goal Diggers… You may THINK you are being productive when you tackle many projects at once, but that is simply not true.
