I read that the best hack for productivity
Is to do the hardest task first and then be free
To address everything else, with a sense
Of accomplishment, your focus intense
Has been spent on the first, most daunting task
In the motivation provided by its completion you can bask
And finish everything else fast and energetically
Thus enhancing your productivity…

I need to place my own spin on this actually
Usually the hardest task does not quite bother me
I would start with it and procrastinate away
Leaving uncomfortable tasks for the end of the day..
It’s the simple tasks that come loaded with emotions
That tear down my productivity, I can go through the motions
Of work that does not trigger emotional distress
But if something perturbs me, I am an unproductive mess..
*
In order to complete my to-do list I should first do
The most uncomfortable task, so that I can get through
The worst part for me, the rest seems easier
If I do not have difficult emotions to fear…

This is interesting. I am a ‘process of elimination’ kinda gal. So, for me, I do the quick, easy things first. Gives me a feeling of satisfaction and a quick check-off on my list. Then my time is spent on the harder task. And you have to hope nothing else gets added to totally screw up your decision!
