You can batch almost anything.

Being a graphic designer isn’t just about making things look great.

It’s juggling deadlines, emails, edits, and life outside work. Add in personal projects or a side hustle, and you’re suddenly a circus act.

If this sounds familiar, let me share a lifesaving trick I learned: batching.

Batching is grouping similar tasks and doing them in one focused chunk of time.

It’s like making all your pancakes at once instead of flipping them one by one.

Simple?

It is, and it works.

Why You’re Always Without Energy

Design work eats energy.

Switching between tasks, like designing, replying to emails, and posting on social media, drains you.

Each time you switch, your brain works harder to refocus.

It’s like stopping and starting a car over and over. It simply burns more gas.
