how i'm going to save more time

I have a blast writing these emails.

It gets me in the habit of writing every day.

But, I think it’s time to do something different.

“What do you mean Alex?”

Don’t freak out just yet.

I’m still going to send out daily emails.

The only thing I’m changing is my approach to writing them.

Before this email, I was writing them fresh every morning.

Even on my 10-hour workdays.

If I’m honest, it got too hot to handle.

I keep running late to work lol.

So, instead, I’m going to batch them in one sitting.

How does batching work?

Lemme explain.

Today I set 2 hours apart and just dedicated that time to writing 4 days’ worth of emails.

That means I have Wednesday through Sunday’s emails written already.

Now, all I need to do is edit them and schedule them in advance.

I’m doing this to…

I’m lowkey hoping this will give me more time to improve the quality of my writing.

I share this with ya’ll because I wanna encourage you to do the same.

If it’s possible, batch your tasks together.

Maybe you don’t create content like I do.

That’s okay if you don’t.

Maybe you have meetings instead.

If you have 5 meetings scheduled Monday thru Friday, how much time would you save if you tried to schedule all those meetings in 1 or 2 days instead?

My guess is probably a lot.

You’d have way more free time to do stuff you’d rather be doing than be stuck in meetings all week.

This is the power of batching.

And it’s exactly why I wanna start batching my emails from now on.

Anyway, that’s all I got for ya today.

Alex “batch your tasks” Garcia out.
