Batching can be explained best when talking about laundry.  You won't do your laundry when you have one pair of dirty socks. You would wait for a certain critical mass of dirty laundry before doing the laundry. The time and labour involved in doing one pair of socks or an entire basket are the same. You want to be effective and efficient with your allocation of resources in many different ways.

Batching

Frequency is personal.  You may be batching daily, weekly, monthly or quarterly. Experiment and see what works. For example:<ul><li>You may decide that on a given day, your primary creation period is from the time you wake up until lunch. Then after lunch, you may do administrative tasks such as phone calls, email and calendering.</li><li>Or you may do administrative tasks on day one, HR hiring on day two, product on day three and marketing on day four. On each of those days, you'll focus on themes. </li></ul>
