Which one do you prefer to start your day with: shorther tasks or longer tasks?

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

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.

@zajdo_csaba longer tasks tend to overwhelm me as well

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

@stevenbirchall I'm never that lucky :)

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 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.

@oscar_wehbe me too, also when I do the smaller ones first it feels like I accomplished a lot so it makes me feel motivated

short tasks bigger quantity, feels like more is getting done when starting the day like that

@richw I totally agree

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

I prefer dealing with shorter tasks first, to enable me to save time and energy to finish the longer one.
