Would you prefer to do the hard jobs or easy jobs first?

Would you prefer to do easy jobs first and then later work on harder projects? Or, do you like to focus on hard tasks first and then finish up the easy ones if you have any time left over? What's your work style?
Usually, I like to get most of the easy stuff out of the way first. For me, it's a tiny moral victory. If I can do ten easy things, then it makes me feel like I've really gotten something accomplished with my day. Easy tasks (like organizing, cleaning, etc.) can easily be done when I first wake up. And, they help me build momentum and give me energy to focus on larger more important projects later on when I'm fully awake and wish to work. What works best for you?

I would do the easy jobs first so i can get them out of the way and focus on the hard job last. that way i dont have to worry about not getting the bulk of what needs to be done. thats espessially important because if im doing work for a boss then i can show that i accomplished something and feel like i did a good job. but i do more than that...i also step back and look at my work and ask myslef "am i satisfied with my work? if not why not?" if i have that negitive question then i try to find why it is that i dont like the job i did and improve it so that i can give the best to my boss that i can offer. Puts me on good terms with my boss and makes it more likely that i can advance to bigger and better things.

well, usually, i like to save the easy for the end...
however, this isn't always the case, cuz after a while of doing hard stuff, i get tired...so i guess i'd say wat i actually do to is flip-flop between hard and easy, with the easy acting like a little break between hard stuff, lol

For me, the hard stuff would be trying to do the easy stuff when I'm tired. When I'm tired, everything takes so much effort and time. So much more so, than when I'm refreshed and just woke up. Guess it works different for everyone.
