I usually do the easy stuff first because I feel a strange sense of accomplishment when I'm able to complete things quickly. But then I end up dreading the end of the day because I have all of the hard stuff left to do. So I'm thinking of possibly switching up my strategy.
What do you do first? (Work related)

Do you try to complete the difficult tasks first to get them out of the way, or do you do the easy stuff first that you know you can get done quickly?

I try to do whatever needs to be done the most, or what's been undone the longest

I do the stuff that people will annoy me about first, and then the hard stuff so that in the afternoon I can do the easier crap.

I guess, order of urgency. Otherwise, I like the get the easy stuff out of the way first, and then get to the hard stuff.

Priority... I do the easiest stuff last b/c then it's like my 'reward' for getting the other stuff done.

Well, it's not like I do too many "hard" things, it's all the same work load to me. I do tend to schedule my proposal meetings in the morning
to get them out of the way because I like to play in the afternoons.

I base it all on my deadlines/what will take the longest amount of time to complete.
