 Here's how to feel satisfied with your to-do list. You want to make sure that you rank your tasks in order of priority. There's no point in doing all these little tasks that are easy just to make yourself feel better and then you have no time left to do your important high priority tasks. You want to make sure that you focus on those first. Doing the hardest, most important thing, first thing in the morning or earlier on in the day is going to make you feel better and more motivated to complete other tasks throughout the rest of the day.
