Saturday link: Scheduling projects
July 19, 2008 by Becky Scott
(www.myorganizedbiz.com) – This week I’ve been reading articles at Hack Your Day. In the article we’ll highlight today, Daniel is talking about scheduling multiple large projects.
What Daniel is referring to can also be called batch processing, and Darren at Problogger recently wrote about it, too: How batch processing made me 10 times more productive.
The basic idea is to do things in related batches. Try dedicating a particular day to a project, then the next day tackle a different project. The idea is to enhance your focus on the project and really power through some of the tasks you need to accomplish.
If you can’t leave a project for a few days, maybe you can schedule in in two days a week. Or three. Experiment until you find the right balance.
Have you tried scheduling this way? Does it work for you, or have you found something that is better?
