I usually start with smaller tasks so that I have more time on my hands to do the longer ones.

I tend to start with smaller tasks. I like to clean up the mess first; checking off a few items in the mornings motivates me. And given I work with a team (like most of us) I prefer to unblock others if that's the case.

@gokceno that is a great approach, doing the smaller tasks first really unblocks the team

I start with smaller tasks as a warm-up and then tackle a bigger one. The hardest part of doing work is starting so I try and make that as easy as possible.

For the first 30 min to 1 hour, I usually start with a few smaller tasks. Then I work on the more complicated ones. I guess checking off a few tasks gives me a sense of accomplishment and motivates me to move on to the much more complex issues. Plus I really need a warm-up while drinking my first cup of coffee :)

@andrea_todorova1 you are so right. Drinking coffee is much more enjoyable when doing smaller tasks

I prefer longer tasks because I have more energy in the morning.

@jason_andries1 you are so right! I get sleepy after lunch and it becomes harder to focus

Try and tackle them based upon priority/importance. Sometimes you can be lucky and the most important are some of the easiest/quickest.

Short tasks are healthier since they allow us to plan our days and take breaks when needed. Longer tasks, on the other hand, can be overwhelming. They require too much effort from our brains and can cause stress, leaving little room for creativity and rest.
