Batching like tasks can be a huge time saver AND can also increase your productivity by up to 40%! As bloggers, it may seem like batching tasks isn’t something that would naturally be easy to do, but there are actually many repetitive tasks food bloggers can learn to batch together to be more efficient and manage their time better.
In today’s episode, I’m sharing what batch working is and how you can apply it to your food blog.
What is batch working?
- Time focused on one type of task
- Allow your brain to get on autopilot (called flow state)
- It can take up to 15 minutes to get into flow state
- Increase productivity by up to 40%
Time track to figure out what tasks you do often
- (See Episode 85)
- Figure out what can be batched
- Do a brain dump or time track for a week or two
Some examples:
- Content planning
- Keyword research
- Outlining blog posts
- Testing recipes
- Photographing recipes
- Writing the blog post
- Scheduling social media promotion
- Writing emails to your list
Start batching together 1-2 set of tasks per week
- Choose a few sets of tasks
- Plan out when you’ll batch them
- Create your ideal week around these (See Episode 92)
- See how it goes and reevaluate

Food blogger turned web designer
I’ve been where you are. Growing fast, feeling overwhelmed by the tech side of things, and realizing that somewhere between hitting 100k sessions and launching that new revenue stream, the foundations of your business got left behind.
I started out as a food blogger, so I get it. The constant juggling. The feeling that your site doesn’t match who you’ve become. The frustration of working way too hard while your brand and tech hold you back.
That’s why I created Grace + Vine Studios—to help monetized food bloggers like you finally catch up. Whether it’s your branding, your website, or just figuring out what the heck comes next, I’m here to help you build a business that reflects where you are now and actually improves your life instead of consuming it.
