In today's episode, we discuss time boxing and batch processing. We also discuss how these following points work:

  • Schedule your tasks in your calendar
  • Meetings with yourself
  • Combination of smaller tasks
  • Chunks of 15 minutes
  • Can also be applied to meetings (strict agendas)

Benefits of the following:

  • Allocate the right amount of time in the right moments (e.g. emails after lunch and hard cognitive SAP writing in the morning)
  • Save space for the important work but also for the necessary managing things (emails, some trainings, …)
  • Avoids overcommitting
  • Relieve your stress levels by having a good way of saying no
  • Better planning on when things will get done really
