Using Batching to Save Time in Aid Work

Over the last few months I took the advice of some time management books and tried batching.  Batching means implementing similar tasks in one block of time. I am surprised by how much this simple act has freed up my time! For example, I used to spend 8 hours on producing one podcast episode, but after batching I can do about three episodes in four hours! There is much to be said about batching tasks, and especially as applied to aid work. In this episode I share some ideas on how you can batch routine tasks to free up more time and become more productive.
