What is batch processing?
It’s basically grouping similar tasks together to be done at the same time, therefore saving time by not flitting back and forth jumping from one task to another during the day. So I now put tasks like posting, marketing, admin and social media into groups to do together, instead of off the cuff.
Using this method I can become more productive. By organising my tasks into a more constructive and logical order, which will create a more focused day without being distracted as something comes up, like an email.
How did I hear about batch processing
I heard about batch processing from a Problogger post that Darren wrote about how he uses it. I realised that it’s a way of working that I have been unconsciously trying to implement for a while without realising it. But with little success because I was not implementing it properly.
So his post hit a real cord with me and seemed such an obvious thing to do. I think the problem is that it is so easy to become distracted from what I am doing, because their are so many different tasks to perform with blogging. That I can end up running around in circles and not really getting very far. I’m starting to think that I am a person that needs (or wants) to structure their day and their blogging. I think this comes from having an awful memory!
Anyway it’s working very well for me, at the moment I am batch processing some posts (pretty obvious) to appear later in the week for both of my blogs. I think it becomes even more important to batch process tasks if you have more than one blog like me.
I love it when I find another way to improve my blogging and time management even if it is obvious, it can take someone else to point it out before I can see it for myself. It makes me feel that my blogging is moving on when I find these little nuggets and implement them, and it seems like I have found quite a few recently so that makes me happy - and busy…
