Household chores can often feel never-ending. Just when you finish all your laundry, more dirty clothes pile up in your hamper. The same goes for dishes. If keeping up with daily tasks feels overwhelming, you’re not alone. Fortunately, there’s an effective strategy to help manage the cycle: the batching method.

Rather than tackling chores sporadically, such as washing some dishes here and a load of laundry there, the batching method encourages you to group household tasks by similarity and by frequency, whether daily, weekly, or monthly. You then schedule these tasks into specific days and times within your weekly routine.

For example, you might designate one day to clean all the bathrooms in your house, another day to do all the laundry for the week, and a separate day to handle grocery shopping and errands.

Essentially, batching tasks is the antidote to multitasking. It helps improve efficiency, saves time, and reduces the mental fatigue that comes from constantly switching between tasks.

Remember to be realistic about what you can batch into one day. Once you have a batching schedule in place, review what’s working and what isn’t, and make adjustments as needed.

Treat your scheduled batching sessions like appointments to help establish a routine. Once you’re consistent with the batching method, you’ll build momentum that turns household chores into a seamless system, giving you peace of mind and a greater sense of control over your time.
