Are you the person who typically has a million tabs open on your computer? If so, we’re about to give you some tough love today! We’re going to help you understand why and how batch working and focusing on ONE task at a time is going to CHANGE your life and business.    Let’s be honest, do you actually LIKE bouncing from task to task, tab to tab, and constantly feeling like a chicken with your head cut off? Do you genuinely feel like you get more work done that way? PROBABLY not. Batch working has completely CHANGED business for us. Batch working is simply taking certain chunks of time (or even days of the week) and dedicating them STRICTLY to ONE task, and one task only. While it might FEEL productive to multitask a bunch of things throughout your workday, we can PROMISE you, it’s SCREWING your productivity BIG TIME. Today we’re diving into HOW to get the MOST out of batch working. Don’t you want to work smarter, and NOT harder? We thought so!   Show notes: http://theheartuniversity.com/078-3-tips-to-master-batch-working/ HoneyBook: share.honeybook.com/heart   In addition to a FREE 7 day trial, get 50% off your first year of HoneyBook, a $200 value!!    www.theheartuniversity.com/content   If you want to connect with us and other listeners in the Heart and Hustle community join our Facebook group here.   Follow along: www.instagram.com/mrslindseyroman www.instagram.com/evierupp www.instagram.com/theheartuniversity
