Dealing with Different Tasks

Our working days consists of many tasks. How do we deal with the different tasks throughout the day?

1. New Tasks
Those are the easiest. Because they are fresh and new and you can put your mind to something new. Baisically you can start when ever you feel like it though I believe it is better to start when _you_ want to start or when you _planned_ to start.

2. "A task that makes you angry"
Those are more difficult to deal with emotionally because obviously something did not work out as planned and you are upset and you want to fix it because you are angry. Fixing something because you are angry is never a good idea. I believe it is best when you approach the emergency Task _after_ it has cooled down, after your emotions have cooled down. Put tasks that make you angry in a short period of time ahead of you. First let you anger cool off.

3. Emergency Tasks
Emergency tasks should never happen. If they do happen then you have to deal with them immediately, instantly. There has to be a will in you not wanting to have "emergency tasks". Never.

4. Decide actively what task you want to do next
Who "decides" how you work? Does the task dictate your working schedule or are you deciding what task you want to deal with next. You have to make your choice actively. If you do not make your choice actively the tasks will dictate your working day.

5. Test in peace
When you have to test if what you did really works do it in peace and use the scheduled time. Do not take shortcuts.
