Batch Similar Tasks to Reduce Context Switching

Group similar work types so each focus block keeps one mental mode.

Context switching has a re-entry cost

Each switch asks you to rebuild context. Batching protects the setup work you already paid for.

Group by similarity type

Batch email, code review, design feedback, and admin in dedicated windows so the session stays in one mode.

Review friction, not guessed savings

Track where switching still interrupts the day, then adjust batch size and timing based on actual session logs.
