️ Batching Without Burnout: Why It Feels Impossible (And Why It Isn’t)
Bold Opening
Let’s be honest: batching gets a bad rap.
Most solopreneurs either don’t batch at all… or they try once, get fried, and swear it off forever.
But here’s the truth: batching isn’t impossible. You just need to stop doing it the way productivity bros tell you to.
Story to Hook You In
A client once bragged to me:
“Eli, I sat down and wrote 12 emails in one sitting. Took me 9 hours.”
Guess what? The emails weren’t bad… but they weren’t her.
By the time she hit send, they sounded stiff. Robotic. Like she was trying to copy-paste her way through connection.
She felt exhausted. Burned out. And worst of all? She stopped emailing for 3 weeks after that.
Batching didn’t break her business. Her approach did.
The Step-by-Step Breakdown
Here’s the shift that changes everything 👇
1. Reframe Batching
Batching isn’t cramming. It’s creating a rhythm.
Think jazz, not assembly line.
You’re riffing on themes, not forcing out widgets.
2. Forget “Robotic Batching”
That’s when you sit down and demand: “Write a month of emails today.”
It’s not sustainable. And it kills your voice.
3. Start with Light Structure
Instead, anchor batching in themes, not rigid templates.
Ex:
· Week 1 = Story
· Week 2 = Lesson
· Week 3 = Behind-the-scenes
· Week 4 = Call-to-action
You’ll still feel free inside those guardrails.
Find out why 100K+ engineers read The Code twice a week
Staying behind on tech trends can be a career killer.
But let’s face it, no one has hours to spare every week trying to stay updated.
That’s why over 100,000 engineers at companies like Google, Meta, and Apple read The Code twice a week.
Here’s why it works:
No fluff, just signal – Learn the most important tech news delivered in just two short emails.
Supercharge your skills – Get access to top research papers and resources that give you an edge in the industry.
See the future first – Discover what’s next before it hits the mainstream, so you can lead, not follow.
Why This Works
· Your creativity has space. You’re not suffocating it with pressure.
· Your flow feels natural. You’re following rhythm, not rules.
· Your voice stays alive. You’re not cranking out robotic copy; you’re writing with energy.
The Big Lesson
Batching isn’t the enemy. The way you think about batching is.
Stop treating it like a marathon of misery. Start treating it like a dance of rhythm and flow.
