Well, hello there, top teachers. We are your host, Bridget Spackman and Michelle Emerson, and we are here to make

your life easier by helping you master your time, organization, and productivity as a teacher.

We've talked about batching since some of our first podcast episodes. It's that good of a strategy.

Today, we're diving in deep to what batching is why it's

important and how to utilize it in all aspects of life. But first, let's hear a time-sucking

hurdle from Eileen. Eileen says, my TSA is not being able to focus on just one task at a time.

Bridget, does this sound familiar?

She says, I often have multiple projects to complete, so I bounce from project to

project, make uninformed progress, yet never finishing each task until the 11th hour

right before my deadline for each task. The other issue is going down

the social media rabbit hole while researching for my work. I hope you can understand this.

Love you girls. I completely understand this, Eileen, because I feel like you and I are just like

soul sisters. But here's what I'm going to tell you. This podcast episode,

Eileen, is completely for you. Back a long time ago when we first started our podcasts,

I felt as though I really, really struggled. And over what, the two and a half years that

we've been doing this, Michelle, I have completely changed in how I approach tasks. Now, do I sometimes still get like a little bit of that shiny

syndrome? Yes, I do. But I'm better, right? Do you agree? So while I feel like I could give

you a bunch of tips, I think I'm just going to tell you,

listen to this podcast, try it out. And if you are like me and we are like soul sisters,

then you're probably going to sit here and think, I can't do this. It's not happening because

I thought that same thing. I promise you, it's going to change your world. Change it, totally.

Now, today's episode is all about batching.
