Batching is doing a series of related tasks in succession. It can be a great productivity tool if used properly. The reason why batching is so effective is because there is a cost to switching from one task to another.
I use Asana to set up recurring events to make sure bills are being paid. I use this as my notifications for bills coming up rather than relying on emails from each company.
Setting up bills to pay automatically is a great way to not have to focus on them each month. I recommend trying to set up the payments to occur on the same day so you can make sure you have a sufficient balance that day and are not surprised.
By setting up automatic savings, you are automating your accounts. It allows you to save for emergency, big projects, etc.
