Well, one of the best batch scheduling strategies with regard to
several criteria is "shortest remaining processing time first".
Operating systems don't use it much in practice since few jobs
volunteer the information in advance.

There are also GANT diagrams which involve graphic bars.

just to add a little sparkling to it - "SORT BY FINISHING TIME and
eliminate overlaps"

So do something rather than add to the mess. Set followups and
complain that the OP didn't do that in the first place. Maybe next
time he will.
