Folks (including myself) have belabored the behavior of prioritizing the big scary tasks first because it makes completing everything else easy and leads to you feeling fulfilled at the end of the day.
Others have supported the idea of prioritizing the little tasks so there are no distractions when you get to the big kahunas. And hey, even if you don’t, you still feel fulfilled because all the little things add up.
Few talk about simply prioritizing what you really want to do. (Note: This still requires a task or to-do list if things you may not LOVE doing.) Few talk about doing the things that would bring you the most joy, even if that joy is simply completing the task and crossing it off.
And the fun challenge here is that once you think to yourself, “there’s no way I can enjoy this” then your task becomes figuring out how to do it so it does bring you joy.
Tasks aren’t naturally miserable. We make it so with the story we tell ourselves about them.
Stay Positive & Change The Story, Change The Feeling
