Recently, I have been trying to accomplish some tasks required during my work and I discovered some interesting factors while performing the tasks. There are a few tasks needed to be done on every single computers in a lab and while repeating the steps needed for every single computers, I realized there are some programs that need to be deleted from the computers which is not in used anymore. After uninstalling the unused programs, I realized by doing that extra step, there will be not enough time left to complete all the required tasks planned in the first place. In the end, I stopped the uninstalling programs step and continue what is planned in the first place.

While performing the tasks needed for every single computers, I am able to relate what we are doing with what I have learnt through reading personal development books and audio tapes while they talked about batching similar tasks together in order to accomplish the tasks at a faster pace. When you are able to batch similar things together, you will tend to build a momentum to finish all the tasks required at a faster pace as you can focus on the one task first without having to remember every single steps of all the tasks for every single repeat. It may be quite hard for you to visualize what I mean through words so I will try to illustrate it with a diagram and hope you can grab the useful idea so that you can apply in your daily life too.

It will be better if you batch similar tasks together as you will be able to complete all task 1 earlier. Although theoretically it show that you will be able to finish all the tasks at a same time no matter if you are batching your to-do or not, when you actually do it with your own emotions and day momentum, you will definitely be able to complete all your tasks faster with batching as you do not have to remember every single steps and do them all at one time but just focus your energy on one task only.

The most important thing is to plan out the outcome you want to achieve with steps of what to do and after that give batching a try to see what you can achieve from it. Currently, I am trying to find a better way to plan my life as previously I do not have the habit of planning in advance the things I want to achieve in detail. However, I have read so many personal development books recently and most of the successful people all achieve great things through planning so this shows that planning is a really important step if I want to achieve my dreams on my journey to success. Therefore, if you come across any great programs that teaches you how to plan your life, do recommend me through this blog.
