Question of the Week: Task Management

It’s time for Question of the Week, which is designed to inspire enjoyable discussions of interesting topics.

This week’s question: when you have an unpleasant chore that must be done, do you prefer to split it up into smaller parts over a number of days, or to just get it all over with at once? No wrong answers, obviously.

The inspiration for this question is the fact that it’s tax prep time in the US.

For myself, I suppose the answer is I get to do both! Since I’m essentially a small business owner, I do some tax stuff every month, and then usually have a couple of days in March that are all tax prep. Other than that, it really depends on the size of the task in question.
