“Batching” email and other notifications (such as MS Teams or Engage) usage is an easy way to avoid distractions, stay focused and increase productivity. In other words, check these outlets at certain times of the day instead of sporadically.
Batching accomplishes the following:
- Reduces the total time spent on email, and other systems
- Remove distractions outside of the designated batch times
When you drop everything, you’re doing to attend to your notifications, you are lowering your productivity. You might feel more productive, but the numbers show otherwise.
So batching sounds great in theory… But how do I do this when it’s so easy to get distracted?
1 – Set up a time to check emails and stick to it
2 – Set up a time to check your networking notifications and stick to it.
By doing this, you make sure that when it’s email time, you focus on your emails. And when it’s networking notification time…you get the picture.
