Batch your tasks so they can be done faster
from The Lazy Genius Way: Embrace What Matters, Ditch What Doesn't, and Get Stuff Done by Kendra Adachi
How to Apply This
-
Focus on the tasks you repeat often.
For example, make the same type of sandwich for four of your kids. -
Focus on the tasks that need undoing.
For example, when you do laundry or use the dishwasher. -
Ensure that you do all the tasks all at once.
For example, if you are batching dishwashing, you should take the time to assemble all your dishes and arrange them carefully so they can all fit in your dishwasher. This will help you perform the task just once. -
Look for ways to remind yourself of the tasks that require batching.
You could write the tasks on your calendar or set a reminder on your phone so that you do not forget to do them.
