On your list of "things to do" Do you try to get the hardest ones done first to get them out of the way?

Question

I always try to get the ones done first I dont like to do, so that when they are done the rest of my list is a breeze.

Answer 1

Always. For it always seems to make the task at hand so much easier to deal with. I love to procrastinate, and this is a way to keep that in check, especially at work. Great question. A star for you!

Answer 2

No - suprisingly enough, I put the longest, most difficult things last on my list.

My reason for doing this is simply to work under pressure.
I have ADD so I forget to do all the little stuff if I don't take care of all of it first - and when it comes to the big stuff - I just work better with a cup of coffee and five minutes left on the ticking clock... what can I say?

Answer 3

It depends on what all I have to do for the day. Sometimes I will get the things done that are easy and fast in order to spend more quality time on the hard tasks to make sure their done accurate.

Answer 4

I like to tortue myself I get the easy stuff out of the way and then let the harder ones get the best of me and I explode into a temper tantrum and break things.....lol....

Answer 5

I try to lump together the ones that will make the use of time more efficient. Like, running errands etc.

Answer 6

Yes I do get it over with. But I know people that do the opposite to me it's harder that way.

Answer 7

Yes.

Answer 8

if I kept a list believe I would

Answer 9

If I can, but it's not always up to me, several other people are involved.

Answer 10

Same as me. But I don't always manage to handle it!
