Well, if anyone who is not familiar with the term “Batch Processing”, it simply means on grouping work on a specific range of time. For example, to reply all phone calls I received over the week on a particular day. 

After reading some author’s attempts on batch work, I decided to take it on and opt for the best. What am I using it for?

Well, simply this blog post. Matter of fact all the post that you have been reading all week long. It’s prescheduled. The art of batch work on blogging is pretty simple and straight forward. All you do is to set a day, and attempt to write as many post you could for the upcoming week or month. The max I could go would be to cover the following week with content. This is then archived with schedules. 

It has given quite a number of benefit to me I would day. First of all it’s future prove. I do not have to worry about writing daily. That helps when you suddenly encounter unexpected chore or assignments in a day that requires more time then you thought. To keep a flow running it does help. A good motivator. It has sort of improved my time management skills. 

Often when you have something good, there tends to be a down side for it. Batch work on blogging would not help if you are on a newsy niche which requires daily attention on moving updates. Besides it may burn you out. Even though you are darn free on a particular day, over writing might lead to a burn out. That’s not good. 

Is there a possible way to overcome burnout’s?

Well I guess there is a simple way. Instead of selecting a single day, why not spread it over a few. This is what I practice. I start writing and archiving post from Friday night’s to Sunday evening’s. I split it up on when ever it is possible to write. I make sure I cover postings from Monday to Friday. On Saturday’s and Sunday’s I have a newsy post that requires to post on that day it self. 

Pre-Plan, see the week ahead.

What if a particular week I was all booked for an event or something similar. Well, the best way is to forecast. If you sense that a tight weekend over the following week, try to write more on the previous week. In my case, probably I would write 10 post over the weekend this week instead of just 5 post. By the way, it’s never a harm to find free times over the weekdays it self and slowly gather a good amount of post. Attempt and find which way suits you the best. To me, I always try to make my life easier on Week day’s.
