What is Batching?

In one sentence

Batching is producing many pieces of content in one working session instead of one at a time. The saving comes from removing setup switches, not from concentrating the same work into fewer days.

Explanation

This is why batching by publish date does not work. Eleven videos made in an afternoon are only faster if they share a setup, a format or a script pass; otherwise it is eleven separate jobs done back to back with no breaks, which is slower than doing them across a fortnight.

The other half is working by stage rather than by video. Writing every script, then generating everything, then captioning everything, beats finishing one video end to end, and it produces better scripts because eleven are being compared rather than one written in isolation.

The common mistake

Batching further than a month ahead. Content ages, anything reactive is stale before it publishes, and the extra buffer is not worth what gets wasted.
