In today's episode, we discuss time boxing and batch processing. We also discuss how these following points work:

Schedule your tasks in your calendar
Meetings with yourself
Combination of smaller tasks
Chunks of 15 minutes
Can also be applied to meetings (strict agendas)

Benefits of the following:

Allocate the right amount of time in the right moments (e.g. emails after lunch and hard cognitive SAP writing in the morning)

Save space for the important work but also for the necessary managing things (emails, some trainings, …)

Avoids overcommitting

Relieve your stress levels by having a good way of saying no

Better planning on when things will get done really
