I’m often told
to do the dreadful tasks first,
the tasks I don’t want to do,
saving the tasks I most enjoy
as a reward for accomplishing these sh** jobs.
When I’m told that,
I know the teller
uses no creativity at all in her work.
A creative person,
such as someone in
marketing
or sales
or drafting the financials for a business plan,
will advise that you complete
the most creative work first,
when you have a fresh brain.
Only when all your creativity is zapped
(and it will get zapped)
should you move to the routine tasks
like filing or doing line edits
or standard journal entries.
Organize your tasks
by the amount of brain cells needed.
