Achieve More By Doing The Hardest Task First
Hello everyone, hope you all are doing good? This is the beginning of an exciting series, which promises to be informative and also educative, do well to follow all the parts, as you will definitely gain 1 or 2 useful information from the series. In today's article, we would be looking at why doing the hardest task first is more rewarding than doing the easiest task first.
Momentum
Whenever we are able to get the hardest task done first, it gives us this momentum to continue doing the rest of the task. This is because, we feel that the hardest part is done, and the remaining tasks will be easy and less stressful, hence we have the belief to keep going with the rest of the task of the day. Whereas, if you get the easiest task done first, you will be feeling less motivated to go with rest of task, as they are harder than the previous task, and that's why a lot of people end up postponing many of their tasks and end up feeling as though they are choked with too many tasks to do. Doing the hardest task first is very good and is very rewarding.
Addiction
We love addiction as humans. Whenever we start doing a particular thing constantly, we are addicted to do those things every time. The difference between the rich and the poor, is that, the rich are addicted to doing productive things and the poor are addicted to doing less productive things. Some of us, rather love to spend our time going through the easiest tasks because we are afraid of doing the hardest task, and end up not delivering on what is expected of us. But if you try to make it a habit of doing the hardest task first, it will take time but eventually it will be part of your habit/routine. When you want to start your day's task, you will think of the hardest task within the day, and do it first and the rest of the day will be less tasking for you. And by so doing, you will be able to achieve more than what is expected of you.
Hello @menoski, thank you for sharing this working methodology, which I think can be effective, because when we have a lot and diversity of tasks to do, we do not know where to start, start with the most difficult task can be the right thing, Since our mind is fresh and active, on the contrary if we leave it for the last moment, we can have our mind exhausted to face a more difficult challenge.
So long, have a great weekend.
Exactly. You perfectly got it. Yes! Our mind would already be too exhausted to handle such a hard task later on in the day, and that's why it is best to start with the most difficult of the day first.
Thanks for such a brilliant comment @amestyj
Right fact buddy @mensoki, when we learn to carry out the most difficult tasks at the early hours of the morning, we are able to cover up more on other activities later in the day.
Addiction as well is one thing out body is good at, when we wake up to oyr most daring task every morning,sooner or later our body adjusts to suit the demands.
Woah!!! I really like your comment. It is very very good to start one's day as early as possible, before 9am, you will notice that you have already done major task of the day and you will be more productive and organized.
Thanks for your brilliant comment @gbenga
