How to Batch Your TPT Work Without the Overwhelm
Apr 28, 2025
In Episode 8 of TPT Chats, we share exactly how we use batching to stay consistent, create content, and grow our Teachers Pay Teachers stores without constantly burning out.
What Is Batching (And Why It Works for TPT Sellers)?
Batching is when you group similar tasks together, like creating product covers, previews or social media graphics, and complete them in one focused session.
It's one of our favorite TPT productivity tips because it:
- Saves time
- Keeps your content consistent
- Uses your energy more efficiently
"Batching helps us stay consistent without constantly starting from scratch." - Malia
Our Batching System for TPT Content Creation
Here's how we batch different parts of our workflow:
- Start with a plan: We outline what content or products we want to batch each week or month.
- Stick to one task: We batch product previews, thumbnails, blog posts, etc., one at a time.
- We work when we're "on": For video days, we film multiple episodes when we're camera ready.
- Stay flexible: Not everything gets batched every time, and that's okay!!
"The nice thing about batching is that it makes the most of the time and energy you have." - Annette
Try This: Batch Just One Thing This Week
If you're a TPT seller struggling to keep up with listings and marketing, try batching just one thing -- your covers, your Instagram posts, or your previews.
Even one focused batching session can save you hours down the line!
