Podcast Episode 26 — Batching Your Chores or Content
I don’t know about you, but I really dislike having to go back and do the same thing over and over and over at different times — especially if it’s something tedious. My solution for that is to “batch” whatever it is that I’m doing.
If this week’s task is creating my posts for social media, I’ll schedule a couple of blocks of time specifically to work on that. I will use the time to create the graphics and posts for the next two or three months at one time. Then I will schedule time blocks to upload and schedule the content. For example, right now, all of my social media content for June, July, and August has been created. I’ve scheduled what I can (some platforms will not let me schedule out more than two months at a time), and I have blocked out time on my calendar to schedule the rest as soon as I’m able. I will do it all at one time, because although it’s not difficult, it is VERY tedious.
I do the same thing with my blog posts and podcast episodes. First, I block some time to brainstorm the topics I’m going to cover. Then I block time to write the article/script for each one. Once I’ve done that for the next two months’ worth of episodes, I will record, edit, and upload them all at once. As a matter of fact, this podcast episode was written, recorded, edited, and uploaded in March.
