Hi Jenna, did you ever post your batch working schedule anywhere? I’m coming up with my own right now and would love to look at an example. Thanks for the info!
In my courses I explain it more. But the gist is that I have a single focus each week (licensing week, book week, courses week, youtube week, etc) and batch it all. But find whatever works for your business. Maybe you have a pinterest day or a blog week!
