"If given a choice, I would leave my documentation tasks for last. I say this because I like to spend my time with my customers so anything to do with documentation during business hours - I feel takes away from my client-facing tasks. I do understand the importance of it, though and I prioritize it accordingly."

"I would leave my email to last! I find that once I am in my email, it's a never-ending whirlwind of small replies and to-dos. For this reason, and to remain focused and productive, I will schedule my email time periodically throughout the day."

There are two main elements to answering this question successfully. First, it is important to authentically identify the types of tasks that you would leave for last if given a choice. This will help to lay the groundwork for trust in your responses during the interview process.
Next, you'll want to convince your Bombardier interviewer that while you may have a choice in how to order your tasks, you know how to properly prioritize your work to ensure that important items are addressed promptly and that administrative or mundane tasks do not fall behind. Essentially, you want to prove that you can be trusted to take full advantage of the level of autonomy offered in your role and will not require micromanaging.
