Batch Processing 3 Tips to Working Faster

August 26th, 2010 Filed under: Planning Tips — Productivity Planner Author

Though I always advocate doing a little bit everyday that will add up to the realization of your bigger plan there are certain situations where processing things in a big group will yield a better result.

An example of this is when sending off parcels or making deliveries. In these cases it is best to sort out what needs to be delivered or sent off then doing so.

Here are 3 tips if You’re batch processing.

1. Bite Sized Chunks.

When using batch processing the most important thing is to sort out what you’re doing into bite sized portions that You can handle. If you’re writing 5 articles a day and upload them twice a week make sure that the uploading days aren’t wearing you down or making you dislike writing the articles.

The point of batch processing is to make things easier for you by doing it at one time so make sure it’s doing just that.

2. Pick The Right Time.

If You’re a morning person then get the batch processing out of the way in the morning and move on to the other things that You have to do that day. Even though batch processing is a ‘no brains’ way of doing things it still takes some concentration to get it done right.

Also remember that since You’re doing a lot at one time if You make an error it may carry through to more than just one instance.

3. Get In and Get Out.

When dealing with batch processing as well as anything else when it comes to work I always recommend the ‘get in and get out’ approach. Block out everything else, turn off the phone, lock the doors and get all the work you need to do done so You can leave.

Thank You for reading and have a great day.
