Lets sit for a minute and pretend that the advice everyone gave you was wrong. Lets pretend that the idea of “completing the big tasks first” is good for productivity. Lets just pretend for a minute, ok? What if I said that they were wrong (in my opinion)? Thats what today’s video is about.

I am not saying that it’s wrong to go through the big tasks on your to do list first, but I am saying that for some, it might be easier to knock out the smaller tasks to build up momentum and motivation to complete the final tasks. Have you tried that before? My analogy in the video was that it’s like rolling a snowball down the hill – it’ll pick up speed and also pick up more snow along the way, just like if you were to start small and get to the bigger stuff later. And have you tried rolling a snowball UP a hill? I don’t think it works out as well.

As a freelancer, I find it hard to focus sometimes and I find that I am unmotivated a LOT of the time that I know there’s a ton of things to do. So I knock out the smaller stuff first because it’s easier, and along the way I build that happiness to see check marks on my to do list. So here’s to you trying something different – it just might work out for you, I know it does for me.
