Productivity Tip 2: Unlock More Time With Task Batching!

"Task batching helps you focus, cut distractions, and get more done in less time."

Hey,

Ever feel like you're constantly switching between tasks and getting nothing done? Here’s a trick that could change that: batching. It’s simple—group similar tasks together and knock them out in one go.

Why does this work? Research shows that switching between tasks, especially of different types, wastes mental energy and time. A University of California study found it can take up to 23 minutes to regain focus after an interruption. By batching similar tasks—like answering emails, making calls, or processing paperwork—you stay in the zone longer, making you more efficient.

Think about it like doing laundry. You wouldn't wash one sock at a time, right? You wait until you have a full load. The same idea applies to your work. Companies like Apple encourage employees to batch tasks to boost efficiency. It's a simple tweak that can make a big difference.

For example, instead of handling emails one by one, set aside specific times during the day to handle them all at once. Got errands? Do them in a single trip. Even tasks like meal prepping for the week can be batched, saving you time during busy weekdays.

And with Spiralist, you can create lists of tasks that fit together and complete them in one focused session. Batching helps eliminate the constant mental juggling and makes sure you’re fully focused on one thing at a time.

Give batching a shot and see how much more you get done in less time!

Cheers!
