Simplify with Batching

Harnessing Mercury in Virgo

This week offers a wonderful opportunity to simplify your life and increase your productivity through batching.

A Harmonious Mercury Movement

As Mercury enters Virgo on September 9, 2024, and concludes its shadow period on September 11, 2024, it's the perfect time to tie up any loose ends from August's retrograde.

Harnessing Virgo's Energy

Under Virgo's influence, you're naturally drawn to organization and efficiency. This week let's put that to good use by creating a batching schedule that works for you. By grouping similar tasks together, you'll decrease overwhelm and feel more relaxed and accomplished.

Batching Ideas:

• Dedicated Days for Clients: Set aside specific days, like Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, for meetings with clients or customers. Use the rest of the week to handle administrative tasks or personal matters.
  

• Weekend Bliss: If your schedule allows, consider making Fridays or Saturdays your "down days" or dedicate those days to “weekend specific” work. This way, you can focus on primary or revenue generating work on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays, while enjoying a well-deserved break on Mondays and Tuesdays.
  

• Monthly Deep Dives: For a more significant shift, dedicate an entire week each month to administrative and organizational tasks. This will give you ample time to tackle everything at your own unique pace.
  

• Daily Rhythms: If a monthly approach doesn't suit you, try dividing your day into blocks. For example, you could schedule meetings in the morning and administrative or client work in the afternoon.
  

Remember: The key is to find a batching strategy that fits seamlessly into your lifestyle. By embracing Virgo's organizational energy, you'll create a more harmonious and stress-free environment.
